For those of you who have lost weight and kept it off...

if I'd been wearing tennis footwear all day.  Well, this Friday evening I had a four-hour pinning observance, and on Saturday, a three-hour graduation.

Yes, mine quit hurting. But it depends on why your feet hurt. Have you been evaluated to figure out what's actually wrong with your feet?

It depends what exactly is causing the pain. I used to have chronic swelling in my ankles and could barely walk. Now with the weight off, I have no pain or swelling.

My feet hurting while sightseeing in London on a business trip was the last straw for me that sealed my decision to have WLS. I was staying in a hotel a couple of blocks from the British Museum and could not bear to walk there or around the museum and left without seeing it. I was devastated and horrified that my weight was preventing me from doing something as simple as that.

Later that year, 3 months after my DS, on another trip, I walked ALL OVER the museum, pain free.

But I'd like to say something else to you. PLEASE change your screen name. It is depressing and sad to even THINK that someone is thinking of themselves like that. You are lovable and deserving of love at ANY weight. A more positive approach to yourself would surely benefit you in this journey.

I had heel spurs bad pre-op. Wore inserts and everything. Now I walk, run a lot, no inserts, no pain. yay

I used to live with constant foot pain.
If I had to walk much, they would actually feel bruised.
Just total misery.
Coupled with extreme edema. Ugh.

Anyway...all gone now.

I wear cute shoes.
I walk.
I jog.

No pain in my feet. Ever.

(Back pain resolved too!!)

My feet don't ache at all anymore : )

They used to throb at the end of the day.

I have plantar fasciitis and it hasn't completely gone away with the weight loss but it's a lot better.

 You might just be amazed at what happens when you rub on a glucosomine cream. Pick one up at Walgreen's or order online.  MSM is also great at reducing painful feet and joints.  I dance for two to four hours almost everyday and use it on my feet and knees.  Relieves pain almost instantly.
