Ladies....

Since I put on all this weight, I can no longer support myself in heels. I am wondering if losing a good amount of my excess weight will allow me to walk in heels again?

Good question BellaDonna. I have back issues, which has effected my balance and with all this weight I gave up heels some time ago. It would be a shame to have to give away all of those nice shoes I have.

I am happy to say that I am able to wear heels again. I have lost 100 lbs since I started my journey. I was only able to wear flats before losing the weight.

I am down 52 lbs and will be trying some heels this weekend. I hope that I can! I haven't been able to wear them for quite sometime.

I love how heels look, but I am the worlds biggest klutz so I can't wear them.

Belladonna, our starting weight and goal weight are very similar. I am 8 month post-op and I wear heels everyday to work! You can and you will; and you will feel fabulous when you do!

THANKS Curvy! Did you have trouble walking in heels when you weighed over 200 lbs? I can't bear it at all!

I'll be honest...I was definitely able to, but I would HUNT for wide set shoes that had stretchy material, or special order. The heels never exceeded two inches, and I could manage that way. I just LOVE heels!

I was still rocking 6 inch heels at 280 lbs I'm a lot more graceful now that I'm 100 lbs skinnier.. You'll be ok

There you are! Haven't seen you post in a while. I love looking at your pics. Your eyebrows are sick! Thanks for the feedback but 6 inches... I could never pull that off.... maybe 4. I said if I can make my goal I will buy myself a pair of Louboutins.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
