fingers and toes

[loriemoms 101]

I was prepared for some weight loss in my feet and finger but its been more dramatic than I thought. My question is my wedding ring keeps slipping off especially in the shower and washing dishes. I dont want to get it resized yet because.i have 50 lbs left to loose and I dont want to stop wearing it. I actually put it on my forefinger sometimes but it feels funny any one else.have a solution?

Yes...go to a jewelry story and have them add a ring guard. It can be removed once you are at the weight you expect to maintain at. I have ring guards on many of my rings because the stones will pop if they cut away as much as they have to to make my rings fit correctly.

You could wear it as a necklace.

weight loss in my feet and finger dramatic

@@loriemoms

happy you lost weight/shoe size

i was not that lucky

i decided to have my ring resized

(i knew i would have to do again later)

it took over 2 weeks to get it back from the "repair shop" back

my poor hand felt naked

if i had to do it over again

I would have opted for the ring guard

weight loss/finger........

go "hand in hand"

62 lbs down!!!

that is great

keep up the good job

l know you will

kathy

congrats

I've noticed that my rings are already getting too big too. They slip around on my finger moving the stones to the back, which I know isn't good. I think the idea of a ring guard is a good idea until I reach goal and can then have them resized.

As for shoes getting too big... what a shame.... I guess I'll just have to go shopping...

There is a product called "ring bling" that you put on your finger under your ring so they don't slip off. They are temporary and come on packs of 15 or so. I used them til I stabilized and had some rings redone ... Or go way back to high school and wrap yarn or thread on the inside. Ha

ring guard is a smart idea, I have to have one put on my wedding ring as well. I don't relish sizing my ring down but losing the weight is necessary.

I halve always had skinny fingers (by most people's standards). My wedding rings are a 5 1/2 and a 6, soldered together. They slip and slide all the time. My largest ring size is a 7 - middle finger, and those slide as well. i don't know how small my fingers will be. i do have a wedding tattoo. Since I am home most of the time, I don't always wear my rings anyway.

As for shoes, oh I hope I can go down a size! I have long skinny toes, and long narrow feet - size 11. Even going down half a size will open up shoe options for me! :-D

I have been wearing guards on my rings after I lost my first 30lbs which was about a month post op. Now even the ring guards don't help. I am taking both of mine in today for the first resizing.

Also as far as losing shoe size ( I wear 11s too). I did go from a extra wide width to a narrow. Some shoes I can fit in a 10 1/2 but it is rare.

@@Djmohr, oh poo! you were supposed to confirm that we would magically go from 11's to a 7 or something like that!! But I do have a narrow foot so I am curious as to what will change.

I don't want to size my rings until I have lost all the weight. My identical sister at her lowest wore a 4 1/2 engagement ring.

I had a jeweler wrap a little piece of wire (ring guard?) around the underside of my ring until my weight had stabilized and I had it resized. I also tried the little rubber ring sizers you can get online but found the jeweler's solution less annoying. A couple of other rings I used to wear on my ring finger now go on bigger fingers or even my thumb!

[Ginger Snaps 1,323]

I definitely lost at least a full ring size... so I went and bought new rings! lol

Feet are at least a half size smaller and I don't need a wide anymore. However, I must have monster calves because even with the weight loss, I can't find a pair of knee high boots that fit even in the extended calf. I did find a pair at Payless (designers have crazy ideas of what an extended calf actually measures) but they don't have a heel so they're disappointing.

[Keeper 218]

One of the things I did was add a couple of (fake) rings to my set. The wider your ring(s) is (are) the tighter they will be on your hand. Meaning, that the more real estate they take up the less slipping and sliding they will do. I have a picture attached for reference. Literally, the 2 on the ends are some cheap Avon bands I bought on Ebay.
