I think my feet are shrinking!



Recommended Posts

Anyone else feel like their feet are getting smaller with their weightloss? I swear the pair I have on have grown a size or more on me....they used to fit just fine now I had to stuff kleenex in the toes just to keep them on!

Am I alone here?

I still wear the same size in length but they are definately narrower. They never swell anymore and I think that's what's doing it for me. Congrats on the NSV. :biggrin2:

You are not alone. You do lose weight in your feet and/or Fluid retention. I've had to get rid of a few pairs of shoes cause I can't keep them on my feet any longer. ... and you thought you'd just need new clothes.:biggrin2:

Mine are definitely narrower. I can see the bones in my feet now. I took a picture the other night. A few weeks ago, my ever observant 6 year old son told me, "Mommy, your feet are skinny!" My hands are much smaller now too. I used to swell in my hands and feet frequently but not anymore.

Same here. My son has commented that my feet and ankles are skinny now, to which I replied, "That's great, but I'm trying to get it off the butt and the gut!"

Yep, from a size 10 or 9.5W to now a 9M or 8.5 sometimes. I still have a bit to lose, so I might even go down more.

      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.
