Yes - even with a relatively modest BMI if 35.7 when I started, and compared to others a smallish weight loss of 85lb, I have noticed a difference in my feet - about a size.

Yes, I think mine went down 1 - 1.5 sizes. I was wearing a size 9.5 or 10, and recently bought an 8.5! Pretty amazing!

Gah, I am so jealous. I am a size 11. I am still a size 11. Perhaps a bit narrower, but an 11 all the same.

I still wear a size 9, but now I can find medium width shoes that fit, rather than searching for the nearly non-existent double-wide! It opens up sooo many more choices. I was so sick to death of Cobbie Cuddlers and Naturalizer granny shoes! What a pleasure it was to toss 'em in the trash!

All my life I've dreamed of a perfect size 10. In Canada, size 11 and up are rare and basically I am having to go to Vancouver to shop for shoes or shop online.

My dear daughter is 13 and 5'10 inches of gorgeous, is now a size 11 and I feel sorry for her. There are NO cute size 11s. We can find size 11 runners successfully, but not really cute things that a 13 year old would like. We try, she is easier to shop online for as her feet are narrower.

But ya, I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel your pain, I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel your pain sister.

No, I only lost when my shoes were off. :)

I used to be a reliable 12w. I just bought some Born (which run narrow to me) 11s Saturday.

I did! I looked down the other day and wondered why my size 9 1/2 white K-Swiss tennis shoes looked funny.

It was because I was wearing my daughter's size 8 white Sketchers. :eek:

I loved it. I told her when she outgrows all those expensive shoes I bought her, I want them!!! Hand-me-UPS!

I've also been a size 11 since I was about 14 so I can understand how it's hard for her to find cute shoes. I started finding some great things on zappos.com that are cute and come in 11s, even 12s. I know there's a Canadian site Buy Shoes and Handbags - Canada.Zappos.com and it seems like they have 11s as well. The only downside is that some things on Zappos are a little pricey as they have designer shoes, but you can also find reasonable prices. I do have to pay a little more for a cute shoe sometimes because they are hard to find in regular stores.

Thanks Sweetie, I will look there. I don't mind paying for good quality, our feet are so important.

      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.
