Weird nsv as of late. I used to be a size 11 in women's shoes at target. I recently bought a new pair of sneakers from target and had to get a 10. Now that I'm wearing them they're actually too loose and I could've went down to a 9 or 9.5. I didn't realize your feet get smaller when losing lbs.

Yep, i was chubby footed as well apparently, lol. I went from a 7.5-8 to a 6.

further, i shrunk about 3/4 of an inch in height…guess i had chubby soles too!

Absolutely! I went from a 8 wide (or larger) back to a size 7.5 regular. Just started donating my old shoes which I walk out of now.

Yes. Before I was really fat I (when I was young) wore a size 8.5 or 9 wide. After I gained all that weight I wore a 10 wide and sometimes 11. After losing my weight, my feet are back to an 8.5 or 9 wide. Unfortunately, my feet have been wide since the day I was born. I wish I could lose that too!
It's wonderful buying smaller shoes though!

Ok so has this happened to anyone else. The dress I wore almost 75 pounds heavier no one ever said two words about. The SAME DRESS 75 pounds smaller and I got like 5+ compliments. Cah-razy! And nice.

It's nice to feel the loose material around my ankles too. I used to take off my shoes after a long day and there'd be an imprint in my skin from the shoe around my ankle because it was so tight and my ankles would swell. I feel how loose my shoes are now and it's so much more comfortable.

Mine went from 10 wide to 9.5 regular... totally didn't expect it.

Some of the jeans from my "someday maybe these will fit again" drawer just slide on. And then they button and zip with no problem. It amazes me every time.

Today I was able to get my middle finger and thumb to touch around my wrist. I have pretty short fingers and haven't been able to do this in years.

Also, today I gave all my biggest fall and winter coats to Ukranian refugees. I don't need them anymore.

I had a lot of NSVs since I had my surgery in January 22:

1. I recently bought a mountain bike and I've been riding it every night around my house. The longest distance I've complete was 8 KM on a slightly hilly area 😀. The last time I was able to ride a bike was 25 years ago

2. I had to get rid of all my old clothes since it does fit me anymore (I kept one shirt and pants to remind myself of how much I used to weigh). Went down from size 52" pant to size 38" in less than 8 months.

3. I bought a lot of fitting T-shirts, pants and even shorts from the regular size section of department store. Had to buy new shoes also since my old ones don't fit any more

I tried on a smaller shirt today. I officially have a waist. I haven't seen one in a very long time.

Yay..

I put on some clothes yesterday and looked in the mirror and I had an hour glass type figure. It was nice and I don't remember the last time I had an hour glass figure.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
