My one piece of advice for sleevers is to take as many pics and measurements as possible ... belts and clothing sizes are cool' date=' but you would be amazed at how your feet shrink, wrists and hands, fingers, etc. sleeve is so great and it's hard to remember how big we really were![/quote']

My feet shrank in width so now none of my old shoes fit, luckily I had some smaller sandals in my closet, but had to buy new ones for work, and new sneakers for the gym/walking/workouts..... along with some new clothes.

I took 6 weeks off for surgery, will return to work on Monday, down 37# and 46 total inches so far overall!!! Plus I got a new, short and sassy haircut to go with the new me!

Loving my sleeve and new life!!

First, Congratulations! You've done great work!

Second, NOOOOOO!!!! Say it isn't so!!! I love my shoes! I've invested so much time and money collecting good, comfortable, high-quality shoes! (notice I didn't say "cute" or any of the various expensive brands! :-) I'm so "function over form" that it's not even a little funny!) ;)

I don't wanna hear my feet will shrink!!! Lol. That is the only part of my body that doesn't need to shrink!!! I have spent so much money on shoes. Ya know fat girls have tons of shoes and handbags cause they don't like to shop for clothes. Lol. Oh well, the hubs will just be paying for news shoes right along with clothes. Hehehehe.......

Exactly! They don't have all the "fit" problems that clothes have and you don't even need to look in the mirror at anything above your knees! :-)

Lol......depends on how chubby your feet were to start with, lol....but I went from a wide width to a "normal" or B Width so the non-adjustable straps at the fronts of the sandals,and the toe box for all my sneakers and work shoes were too wide, which effects how you walk, and how your legs and back feel etc because your feet slip....so I got new shoes. :)

Well, at least you got new shoes out of the deal!!! :)

My ankles, wrists, hands, and feet don't seem to have much, if any, pudge factor. They're all fairly bony, so I'm hoping I won't have a lot of shrinkage in this area. (Now my calves, however, still not a place I accumulate an obvious amount of fat, but I would be soooo happy if they dropped several inches in circumference! I could wear boots! And knee-high socks! (I think only people who can't wear knee-high socks actually want to wear knee-high socks.) But alas, then I would have to give up some muscle, and I just don't like to do that on principle...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
