NSV - my feet

When I weighed 240, the bottoms of my feet were a huge callus.  I was very active even when I was large.  I had the feet of an elephant.  I had to shave my heels all the time to cut the dead skin off.  I used the Ped-Egg all the time.

Once I lost the weight, my feet stopped creating the calluses on my heel and toes.  I don’t have to cut the heels any more.  My feet don’t have that square look around the edges any more.  And the skin looks great from all the vitamins I take.

I can finally wear sandals and not be embarrassed by my heels.

Yay! I hope you live somewhere that is still warm. I've already cranked on the heat here in Michigan so my sandles are packed for the year.

I am scheduled for my DS in February. I am 5'7" and weigh 340 lbs. I have the same problem with the calluses on my feet. I hate it! That is another thing I'm looking forward after surgery!

Me too!!!  And now the calluses don't split and bleed either!

Ditto....  My feet are also much happier since my weightloss.  Those thick cracky heals can be so painful.  Sometimes I would shave so much off I swear that I was a little bit shorter....lol  small victories!

So the actual weight may have a bearing on the cracks etc. I have had them too but they are starting to look better as my weight drops. Interesting.

At my heaviest, my heels did crack.  And I was always shaving/abrasion the heels, the outer edges of my feet, the bottom of my toes, etc.

It never occurred to me until I noticed that I have not had to use the ped-egg for 6 months and the callus on my heels seems to be shrinking on it's own.  The callus isn't building up any more.
