Yes from a 9WW because my feet would swell real bad, to an 8 or 81/2M depending on the shoe.

Yup I went from a 10 to a loose 9.

I went from an 8W to a regular width in a 7 and sometimes a 6 1/2 depending on the brand of sneaker!

At my heaviest, 290, I wore a 9.5-10 depending on the type of shoes. I'm down 87 pounds and now 8.0-8.5. I had to get rid of ALL of my shoes and get new ones (oh the horrors)!! My feet never looked big to me either. But I carry my weight proportionally so I've lost everywhere.

I'm down about a half size and my feet are narrower. For example he first time in a long time I'm in regular width shoes.

Oh joy! I am a women's size 11, pushing out to 11 1/2. Finding shoes is near impossible. If I could lose a size, that would be so fabulous!

I think I noticed it after about 8 months.

I went from a 9 1/2 to an 8 - 81/2 depending on brand.

It makes sense, you lose the Water, swelling and fat.

I can't wait! I used to be a size 7 when I was about 16. Now I'm an 8.5.

I no longer need a wide. Thank you lord! Unfortunately, I'm still a size 11. I got to that size by the time I had my third child. I used to be a 10W. But no worries, I've been able to find some great shoes and can't seen to stop buying shoes, some I may never wear!

Oh my goodness I had no idea this could happen! I mean it makes sense, but I am so excited about this! Size 11 to 11 1/2 (which they don't really make). Would be thrilled to be able to wear a 10! So many more options in a 10.... Happy dance! One more reason to look forward to this surgery!

      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.
