What did your FEET do?



Recommended Posts

I'm a 10 1/2 no . I haven't had surgery yet.. But I actually measured from toe to heel.. And it showed I WAS a 10 1/2. Does losing weight make your length of foot shorter?

Plantar fascitis has been inactive since my surgery. I am down from 10 to 9.5 and that's at 4 weeks out! Hoping for at least another 1/2 size.

Mine too!

I went from a 9.5-10 to an 8-8.5. I had to get all new shoes. I still haven't purchased any boots.

I didn't make the connection between my previous foot pain and weight either. Hmmm. Interesting!

bellabloom, I agree about the 'inflammation related to the high sugar diet'. I am just on my pre-op low carb diet right now and my feet already feel better than they have in a year.

I was a 9 before I got pregnant with my son. With that pregnancy, my feet went to a size 10. I hope and pray that they will get smaller too after surgery!!

It's incredible what a salty diet and high sugar diet does to your body. If I eat junk food one day my rings doesn't fit and a gain 3 pounds in Water weight. Imagine eating that way every day!! Now I understand why I was so bloated and puffy before.

As of this morning I've lost exactly 100 pounds. Woot!

And my shoe size hasn't changed one bit. Just goes to show nothing about this journey is completely predictable.

      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.
