I bought a new pair of heels today and was astounded to fit into a size 9. This time last year I was wearing a size 11. I tried on a couple of other pairs just to make sure it wasn't just the shoe I was buying but the 9's fit in all of them. Has anyone else experienced such a drastic change in shoe size?:blink:

Yes, mine changed as well from a 10 -11 to a 8.5 or 9....all depends on the shoe! Now I am not afraid to wear heels! I was always worried I would snap them :blink:

Yes, mine went from 8 1/2 w to 7 1/2 m. I haven't wore 7 1/2 in many years. I 1st noticed last Oct. I was going to my father's funeral, and the shoes I brought kept going clicking on the floor because they were way to big. I had to run to Walmart, (very small town), to get something to wear. I 1st tried 8's then 7 1/2. I am quite comfortable in them. May have to try 7's this year though. Good luck on your weight loss and shoe size! Karen

I was told that you drop 1 shoe size approx every 30 pounds.

I'm down 65 pounds,and have been re-fitted at New Balance twice.

(I'm lucky, I get to wear tennis type shoes at work :P - I haven't worn a dress shoe in 14 years)

I am back in a 8.5 after wearing 9 for the last 10 years.

Of course my feet are two different sizes-- my right is bigger than the left (actually , true of my thighs and my boobs too-- I am really lopsided toward the right side, lol!).

I have bought so many new pairs of cute shoes that I hope my size doesn't keep going down. I don't think it will-- I wore an 8.5 through high school.

130 lbs down and my feet haven't changed a bit. Too bad, because I'm thin and my feet are still annoyingly wide!

Last summer before surgery, I bought some new Asics in a size 11. They fit awesome. Now they fit big and floppy, like clown shoes. LOL

I need to buy some smaller ones.

Down from an 8 to 7.5 after approx 75 lbs...

but here's the worst part. I also "shrunk" 1/2 an inch....anybody else get shorter? did I have fat on the soles of my feet?

Crazy....but truth is I always "was" 5' 1 1/2" only went up to exactly 5'2' after gaining a lot of weight as an adult.... oh well I'll take it :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
