My feet not hurting




I am right there with you!!! Just recently I have been having so much pain in my feet. I have tried inserts, new shoes, tying them differently, nothing works. I can't wait for them to stop hurting.

Yep, I agree.
I stand alot at work and my feet can't handle it.
Human bodies were not meant to support my current weight.
My feet cannot handle 420 pounds.
I feel like a bone may have actually fractured [emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22]

Wearing pant/jeans again.

not having to wear the floaty tops to hide my stomach (nothing hides it)

feeling comfortable in my own skin instead of being embarrassed by my size constantly. Not hating every single picture of me. Not untagging myself from every event I go to because I don't want what I look like to be on my Facebook page.

Not being controlled by my grumbling stomach constantly! Just to mention a few.

Also I know it may sound pathetic but I'm looking forward to compliments. Enjoying my body again. Wanting to make an effort, dress nicely and put on make up again.

Looking in the mirror and not feeling horrible about myself. I had the lapband done in 2013 and lost 80 pounds, I remember the feeling of confidence and feeling good about myself. After having my daughter and putting back on almost 100 pounds i finally decided to get the sleeve done in june. I cant wait to feel good about myself !!! Im getting married in a year and I want to enjoy wedding dress shopping! I also want to do a boudoir photoshoot !

I want to feel comfortable in my own body. I want to feel energized and up to do anything. I want to be able to be there for my daughters. One is 21 and the other is 19. I want to be around to see them get married and have grand babies I can spoil.
Most of all I want to be healthy again and happy.

The clothes... I have so much clothes waiting for me...

Having the energy to get up at 530am to work out like I used to.

Not being so darn sweaty.

Feeling comfortable to start dating again.

Not feeling my belly on my thighs when I sit >.<

Having one chin. That would be nice.

I will look forward to not having to ask for the extended belt on a plane.

Not Feeling like I'm always the fat girl in the room.

Not paying extra for bigger size clothes.

The steering wheel not hitting my stomach while driving.

The sweat that forms between my double chin and my chest to stop.

The chafing going away for good between my legs.

More energy, keeping up with kids, having my family see me thinner and healthier, and I really just want to be healthier and a good role model for my kids.

The feet, back, hip, and shoulder pain to go away.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
