Brooks Brooks Brooks all the way. I wear the Adrenaline, I have wide, flat slightly inward rolling feet - which would fit the description of the feet of many heavy people - and they are brilliant running shoes. I am on my 5thor 6th pair.

But really, itsd impossible for anyone else to advise. Different shoes fit different people and whilst I would certainly have some derisive things to say about NB shoes that's based only on my feet and my experience. I know Asics are good shoes too but I find them way too narrow and not good for me at all. I think NB, Brooks, Asics are all well made good quality shoes though. Generally, with shoes, you get what you pay for.

I agree with Brooks! I love mine and they really have helped with my plantar fasciitis. That's what my podiatrist at MGH in Boston recommended. I would go with a motion-control running shoe. Also, they tend to be a little deeper, so they're good if you need to fit in orthotics like I do. Good luck!

Do not use a running shoe.they only offer support for heel strike,ball push off.get pair of training shoes or cross training shoe.they will support lateral movement and you feet,knees and hips will thank you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
