Yes!! I noticed this last night actually. I'm almost 5 weeks post op, and have been just wearing flip flops lately in this hot weather. Got dressed up in my heels, and my foot kept sliding out of my shoe. I had tried on 4 pairs, and all the same...loose. Although it was a bummer not to have shoes to match my outfit, I laughed so hard out of joy, I'm starting to see the changes in my body and despite the pain and struggle in the beginning, the sleeve is totally worth it. =)

Yay!! So happy for you!!! I just wanted to wait to make sure I didn't go out and buy new shoes and then have them be too small in a couple of months!!

Oh yes. All my shoes are too loose. My sandals slip around on my feet and the converse etc will go flying off if I kick my foot.

Me too, I went down a 1/2 size. Im actually back to my normal size 8, I had gone up as the pounds got put on. So there are lots of shoes in my closet that I can wear again. Joy :)

I noticed this too today when my ugly stepsister foot slipped easily into Cinderella's slipper!

Oh yes. It's another great benefit I hadn't even considered. I was a 10 wide that was usually too tight. Always flats and rubber soles, clogs, etc. I couldn't wear nice heels because they didn't fit and would have looked ridiculous on my large body. I had a blast today trying on tons of shoes in an 8.5 and 9! Pointy toes and stiletto heels! Who knew??

I was an 11 extra wide. Now I'm a 10.5 wide. I'm hoping I will ditch the wide width shoes altogether.

Was a size 8 1/2 to 9 now I am a solid 8 and will probably go down another 1/2 size eventually. :)

      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... :(
