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 am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
