Fit Flops Anyone?



Recommended Posts

The shoes are also sold in Foot Locker. There is a band across the mid part of the foot that helps to hold it on too. It is supposed to help with plantar fascitis and heel spur syndromes and tight achilles tendons. Very cute also come in pink, red black.I am contemplating a pair. Why not let my muscles work hard for me when I am just walking around???

aveamora,

Yeah it can get painful. We're trying to avoid surgery by doing stretches and wearing inserts in my shoes to stretch the Achilles tendon and give me some support and padding. Some days are better than others. That's one reason why the fit flop caught my attention. It may help with my foot issues. I'm also hoping that losing some weight will help some too just because of the load on my feet!

Glad to hear everybody talking about FitFlops. I watched them for months and convinced my Husband to get them for me for Mother's Day (he didn't like the price but I just had to have them) I love them. They make my feet feel good. I walk in them daily for about 2 1/2 miles and I feel great. I put them on everyday. I even use them when I am on my elliptical machine doing my exercise. I love flip flops anyway so they were a bonus. He paid the $50.00 for me the black ones with the little red stripe from Bath and Body Works. I am trying to catch them on sale so that I can get a white pair. I've got my fingers crossed. I almost forgot to mention that I wear them when I jog too. I hope you all enjoy them! I have to give them :sad:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
