Shoe size?!?!



Recommended Posts

I wondered the same thing this past weekend. Was shopping at a great mall and found two pairs that I loved! Decided to wait and see what might happen to my shoe size. Too bad we can't all send our shoes to one central place and do a shoe swap! (Might be a little gross, but cheaper than all new shoes!)

Shoes size will change as will your neck circumference. You'll be amazed at how long your necklaces will become!

My children bought me an open hearts necklace for Christmas. It doesn't fit. I told them that I will wear it after surgery and never take it off! As for the shoes....I pray for one size down do that I can buy cute shoes again!

Didn't think my shoe size would continue to shrink but it has. Last spring, I bought a whole new shoe wardrobe because I went from an 8 1/2-9 wide width to an 8 regular width. Now I'm a 7-7 1/2. Some of the shoes from last year fit, and some do not.

Im pre-op, wear a size 11 shoe. I have noticed stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross carry 10, 11, 12. Also, since stores usually just stock up to a 10 I have asked if they can ORDER an 11. Nordstrom will and ship it free to your home. :)

I am now a 5.5 and it sux because finding that size is hard. I was a 6 and in some shoes 6.5 which was much easier to find :)

      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.
