It is so funny that you brought this up! I bought a pair of duty shoes (white nurses shoes) about 2 years ago. I didn't try them on at all. They were same style and size as the work shoes I was currently wearing. When I got home and put them on to go to work, they KILLED my feet they were so small! I said bad words about the company changing the style, skimping on the size, etc. Now that I am down 64 pounds since my surgery, I find that I can get them on quite comfortably! In fact I wore them to work the other night for the first time. I never thought of my feet as "FAT", but obviously I have lost some fat in my feet as well as other places! I am still a size ten shoe, but wow, do they ever fit better!

My friend who is 1 year out and down 100 pounds went from an 11 to a 9!

A lot of my shoes are feeling big on me. I've been a 8.5-9, but expect to be at 7.5-8 when all is said and done. That's where I was many moons ago. The problem now is I don't want to buy new shoes if my feet might get smaller too!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
