Imelda Marcos, here I come...

I got a discount coupon from Aerosoles for 20% off so I figured I'd see what they have for spring. I don't really need any new shoes since I bought several pairs last spring when I went from an 8 1/2-9 wide to an 8 regular. I did notice though, that some of my flats are a little big...it's been getting a little warmer here in NY and I've been transitioning back out of my heavier winter shoes. I though maybe I stretched them out a little and figured, no big deal...my feet tend to swell in the warmer weather anyway.

So, I went shopping yesterday afternoon and tried on a few pairs of new styles in size 8. Well...they still felt too big, and I asked for the 7 1/2 just to see the difference. Guess what? I bought three pair of new shoes sized 7 1/2.

As much as I enjoy buying new things, I really didn't expect that my feet would continue to shrink and I'd need to buy more shoes. I tell you...I haven't worn a 7 1/2 since before the kids were born...and that was 30+ years ago....

Good for you !! Another brand that I found to be very comfy was a brand called Born, they have them at Penneys and Macys, and probably some other nice stores too. I bought a super comfortable pair of cute brown low boots that are still very good for being on cement floors all day. Try their website too, Born. com. Have fun shoe shopping !

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
