I can't wait until my calf shrinks smh haven't worn a pair of thigh high boots in over 10 years. The stretchy types just don't look or feel the same.

I was barely fitting into a 10M. 10w was too wide but medium was kinda tight

Just yesterday I purchased an 8 1/2 medium. most of those shoes I've purchased this winter were a 9 but I've needed 81/2 in a few.

I've given away over 100 pairs of size 10's. The shoewhore that I am have replaced about 40 pair so far. Can't wait to go shopping for sandals

You all give me soo much hope!! I went from a size 10 to an 11 to now a 12 since the birth of my two kids 11 years ago!

If I could go back to an 11 or a 10 that would be freakin awesome!! I can't find size 12 shoes anywhere except for payless or Lane Bryant!!

Hey nona....do you live anywhere near NYC? I ask because believe it or not, there are lots of shoe stores here in the city that cater to drag queens and they carry quite a nice selection of shoes in larger sizes. If you can get here, you may find lots to choose from.

Nordstrom has a big foot sale a few times a year. Size 10 is smallest size

I've gone down one shoe size.

Oh...and I'm clothes shopping as well. I like to look/feel cute EVERYDAY and that's kinda of hard wearing ill fitting clothes. :D

I'm not even sure when after surgery to go shopping the good news I work a lot and can wear scrubs. Though I know a lot of me working alot is because I don't feel like nothing fits me right so I use the excuse rather work than go out...such a lie.

13-12. I have some awesome Florsheims that I got just to do a wedding that tortured my feet. Now they are friendly with room to spare. 12's are easier to find than 13's for sure.

My feet have somehow gotten longer . . . but skinnier. Was a 10W and am now an 11M.

Hmmm. Bufflehead, I am glad you said that. I didn't want to admit it to myself! I have been a size 10 since like the fourth grade, but lately, they have seemed tight! That has NEVER happened. I could always just go and buy shoes, not even try them on and they would fit....but not now!

well apparently I am not far enough out when it comes to shoes getting smaller...as for shopping for clothes doing very little of that either...I want to get to a certain weight before I start shopping, but am looking forward to maybe losing a shoe size that would be great too!!! This was a fun topic...enjoyed!!! Thanks for the smilies.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
