Hi peeps,
Well it has taken me days and days to catch up on this forum. Last week was so busy at work I found myself arriving home late most evenings, getting online late and never making it onto WLS.
SKINNY FEET
For a few days I thought my shoes were getting a bit too wide and boat like and perhaps I should start wearing two pairs of socks to fill them ..... then this morning after my shower I took time to look at them properly and they seem to be less "fat", they have lost some of the plumpness and bloating they used to have.
Thus I think my 2 x men's pairs of loafers (size 9) are now one size too big and I can probably go back to a size 8 next time I buy again !!
Was not sure initially if this "thin feet" thing is just due to the cold ?? (but I have good heating in my flat so am not cold in here) .... but I think I will have to accept it might actually be due to weight loss.
GIGANTIC WINTER COAT -- BUYING A NEW ONE !!!
Think I mentioned on another post about a month ago that the big black wool winter coat I have is a size 32 (it was sold as a size 32 but I do wonder if it might actually be a 32/34). It was big when I bought it (about 18 months ago) but only by a few inches.
It is now 10" too big for me and not even keeping me warm because it is flapping about 10" away from my body !!!
It is way too complicated to move all the buttons and button holes, so I have caved in and ordered myself a new size 26 winter coat (again from ebay) costing less than £20 so not about to break the bank.
Due to the current arctic conditions I just could not cope with my current size 32/34 coat flapping about 10" away from me any longer.... hopefully the new coat will arrive sometime next week and I will still get at least 2 months' wear out of it (assuming Feb, March and sometimes early April remain cold) before I re-sell it back on eBay.
My pre-op weight loss to date has not been great in numbers (I think it is a bit more than in my side panel but I have not updated recently) but the small changes in my shape are noticeable already.
CAN'T WAIT until the *post* op super shrinking fun starts !!!!

And yes, the feet can get thinner, but also the arch isnt so flattened with the extra weight, so the foot can shorten with the increased arch height
