Fit Flops Anyone?



Recommended Posts

The shoes are also sold in Foot Locker. There is a band across the mid part of the foot that helps to hold it on too. It is supposed to help with plantar fascitis and heel spur syndromes and tight achilles tendons. Very cute also come in pink, red black.I am contemplating a pair. Why not let my muscles work hard for me when I am just walking around???

aveamora,

Yeah it can get painful. We're trying to avoid surgery by doing stretches and wearing inserts in my shoes to stretch the Achilles tendon and give me some support and padding. Some days are better than others. That's one reason why the fit flop caught my attention. It may help with my foot issues. I'm also hoping that losing some weight will help some too just because of the load on my feet!

Glad to hear everybody talking about FitFlops. I watched them for months and convinced my Husband to get them for me for Mother's Day (he didn't like the price but I just had to have them) I love them. They make my feet feel good. I walk in them daily for about 2 1/2 miles and I feel great. I put them on everyday. I even use them when I am on my elliptical machine doing my exercise. I love flip flops anyway so they were a bonus. He paid the $50.00 for me the black ones with the little red stripe from Bath and Body Works. I am trying to catch them on sale so that I can get a white pair. I've got my fingers crossed. I almost forgot to mention that I wear them when I jog too. I hope you all enjoy them! I have to give them :sad:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
