Shoe sizes...did you lose?



Recommended Posts

Just curious, how many shoe sizes have ya'll lost when you had the surgery and started losing. Wondering if it makes that big a difference. When I was slender I wore a size 9, as I gained weight it seemed to progress up until now I have to wear a 10 wide, sometimes an 11 in some. Big fat boat feet! lol

Voodoo, I feel your pain. I was an 11, and now anywhere from a 9-9.5!! I love it. You will loose some size and be amazed at the pretty shoes that will be available for you then! Trust me, it rocks! :)

My feet too are getting smaller. I have shoes (cute ones) that I can't wear anymore! But I'm happy to be shrinking all over!

Wow, thats sooo encouraging. I'm so tired of having pig's trotters. It's been two years since I was able to wear heels comfortably and I do soooooo love shoes! It will be nice to dust off the big box of them I have in the attic. Not to mention all the darn clothes I've hung on to.

      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.
