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:

      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.
