I wore a pair of heels last night that I haven't worn in 6 months. My feet had so much room it was hard to walk. Made it through the night but will buy a new pair

In addition to the foot fat loss there's also the cant reach the gas petal syndrome.. My husband and I alternate use of our work car and he's asked me recently why I keep moving the seat around... Apparently I've lost back fat or bottom of the foot fat or something it seems like I'm having to scoot closer and closer to the steering wheel to reach the gas

This is going to sound weird but I noticed myself gaining weight by my shoes. I had a job where I would stand for 9 hours straight. I bought shoes before the job and as I gained weight, and the weight burdened my feet and caused swelling I had to buy shoes in a size 8 1/2, a whole size larger.

I can definitely tell a difference on my feet from when I was overweight to now when I'm obese. I'm looking forward to losing weight and wearing my high heels again. And buying my first pair of thigh high boots. :P

It's crazy to think of all the the new things we have to buy to dress out new bodies. We can't even wear the same shoes.

Holy cow me too! I've lost 85 lbs and gone from 9-9.5 to 8-9. 90% of my old shoes no longer fit - too loose all the way around.

Also noticed that at the end of the day, my feet aren't swelling out of my shoes. It's good!!

But I agree... This is an expensive journey!!

I have a nice pair running shoes. Since I bought them I have lost 115 pounds. They seem really big now and when I run my feet move around.

Anyone else experience this? When I asked someone if its normal she looked at me like I was crazy.

Omg u all are giving me hope that after surgery my 10.5 shoe size can drop to a 9-9.5 (that would be ideal, a single digit shoe size):)

Haha :). It's true! Probably everyone will foot weight with the surgery. I've only lost 50 lbs and already can barely keep my size 9's on. I think I'm actually a 8.5 or maybe even 8 now...time for a shopping trip! Who's paying?

I have lost a shoe size as well, went from a 9 to an 8, I even tried on a 7.5 that fit me:) I have a ton of shoes and they all are flopping off of my feet, I have bought some insoles and are trying them out to see if they will help them fit as I don't want to get rid of some of my favorite shoes!

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

      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! 😞
