Ladies....

Since I put on all this weight, I can no longer support myself in heels. I am wondering if losing a good amount of my excess weight will allow me to walk in heels again?

Good question BellaDonna. I have back issues, which has effected my balance and with all this weight I gave up heels some time ago. It would be a shame to have to give away all of those nice shoes I have.

I hope so, Thats my theory about why I used to be able to wear heels without a problem.

I am happy to say that I am able to wear heels again. I have lost 100 lbs since I started my journey. I was only able to wear flats before losing the weight.

I am down 52 lbs and will be trying some heels this weekend. I hope that I can! I haven't been able to wear them for quite sometime.

I love how heels look, but I am the worlds biggest klutz so I can't wear them.

Belladonna, our starting weight and goal weight are very similar. I am 8 month post-op and I wear heels everyday to work! You can and you will; and you will feel fabulous when you do!

THANKS Curvy! Did you have trouble walking in heels when you weighed over 200 lbs? I can't bear it at all!

I'll be honest...I was definitely able to, but I would HUNT for wide set shoes that had stretchy material, or special order. The heels never exceeded two inches, and I could manage that way. I just LOVE heels!

I was still rocking 6 inch heels at 280 lbs I'm a lot more graceful now that I'm 100 lbs skinnier.. You'll be ok

There you are! Haven't seen you post in a while. I love looking at your pics. Your eyebrows are sick! Thanks for the feedback but 6 inches... I could never pull that off.... maybe 4. I said if I can make my goal I will buy myself a pair of Louboutins.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
