I was always a 'wide' foot now im 'normal' plus i went from a 7 1/2 to a 6 sometimes 6 1/2. I didn't think about losing so much from my feet !!

For those of you who went down in shoe size dramatically, would you have considered your feet "fluffy" before?? I wouldn't have considered my feet to be fat before, but would love to be down from a 10w!

No I never thought my feet held much fat but I went from a 10 to an 8-8.5.

You've just totally excited me, making me realise I will be able to fit so many more shoes! I have wide feet but that should definitely change.

I have experienced this as well! I am only 2 months out and have lost about 50 lbs since surgery and have already noticed that all of my footwear is too big. I never considered my feet to be fat so I never thought they would get smaller....I guess it's a great excuse to go shoe shopping!

I'm curious if your feet had "grown" through your adulthood. I've been wearing the same size shoe since I was 12. I did go from narrow to medium after my 2nd pregnancy. I would be surprised if my shoe size changes with weight loss.

@@DaisyAmy, like Kristen, I never thought my feet were fat either. But I went from a size 8.5 when I wore a size 8-10 in clothes to a 9.5 wide as I started to gain weight. My largest dress size was a 20 & depending on the top, a 22.

I can now wear a size 10 again & my feet are back to an 8.5

Interestingly, back in the day, when I weighed 165, I was in a size 14, not sure what's happening. My sister is slightly under 5"2. & she weighs the exact same & wears a 14?! I don't get it.

I had to dig around through old pics for a comparison but here you go. (I'm 161.6 now so the "after pic" is a few months old). My feet look the same, just bonier.

Even as a guy I lost a shoe size. I was 13 wide and now I am 12 regular.

I haven;t really noticed any changes in my feet size other than them being bonier and my toes being a little less plump. This said, I wore a pair of Keen sandals two weeks ago that I haven;t worn in months and had to tighten them because they were stretched out in the width. I don;t expect a big change n my feet size. I've been wearing size 10 shoes since 6th grade. Sadly my 10yo daughter has my feet.

I'm just looking forward to wearing heels again. I've heard when you loose the weight they are not so uncomfortable to walk on. At the moment I live in rubber slip ons and my feet ache a lot. Hope this all changes.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
