Silly question.... But curious...

Did your feet change size or become narrower after weight loss? What shoe sizes were you before weight loss and after?

Pre-surgery, my feet would randomly swell and shrink. So I could be a size 10 1/2 one day and an 11 the next.

Post-op my feet have stayed the same size - 10 1/2. I'd been a 10 1/2 since high school and it was only after becoming morbidly obese that my foot size changed.

Now, I have the feet of a bodybuilder!!!!! Talk about ripped, my feet have their own version of a six-pack! Now if only the rest of me would follow my foot's example. :-P

Mine are the same size but a whole lot narrower. I had to throw out most of my old shoes because they just slid off my feet.

Yes, mine changed. I've always had a wide foot and still do, but my size went from an 8 1/2 to a 7 1/2.

I went down a full size and from a "wide" to a "medium" width.

I was an 8.5 when i was a teenager (the last time i wasn't obese), then typically bought 9s once I put on the weight. I also preferred wide shoes when I was up toward my heaviest. Now I'm back to an 8.5 normal width.

If this happens to me I will be thrilled. Life as a women's size 11 shoe ain't easy! I'm just over 2 months out, and so far my feet are the same size...

      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.
