My feet were fat. And now they're skinnier just like the rest of me. I've worn crocs so long... and now I love trying on strappy heels!

I wear Crocs & sneakers with orthodics (?) in them. I love my Crocs & have several pair in several diff colors. I have 2 pair of dressy shoes for weddings/funerals. That's about it. It's no fun dressing up at nearly 300 lbs so didn't care anymore. Once I lose a decent amount of weight, I'm going shoe shopping! Can't wait to wear strappy heels!

I've only lost 15 pounds but me shoes are already big. Can that be possible that soon after surgery. I know my feet are going to get smaller but soo soon?? Maybe I'm going to loose weight starting in my feet and then working up. Who knows :-)

Funny thing is this is one of the main things I look forward to after surgery! So many cute shoes my fat feet cannot fit!

I buy men's shoes because they're wider. I can't wait to get cute shoes. I might become a shoe-a-holic!!

I think they "shrink" in length because the arches revert back to their normal height ...which pulls the foot up in the middle...think of a piece of kleenex that you pick up from middle...sides pull in leaving less distance from front to rear.

This is exactly what happens, I have a friend who is a podiatrist and explained this to me. FYI he used the tissue example as well lol

I am 3 months out and 58 pounds down and have lost almost an entire shoe size. I also wore orthotics in my shoes the last 20 years and now find I don't need them anymore. Also to the person that asked earlier yes my feet were a size smaller when I was younger and skinnier so hoping to go back to that size again.

      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... :(
