Did your shoe size change with weight loss?



Recommended Posts

As I gained large amounts of weight my shoe size went from a 9 to an 11. I am only 2 weeks into this lapband journey but I am wondering if your shoe size changed after you lost a lot of weight.

Yes. I wore 11W before. Now I don't need the wide anymore and can wear some 10's.

I was wearing a 8 1/2W or 9 - and now I can fit in a regular 8 1/2 and in some cases an 8

I stayed the same size, but my foot is deffinately more narrow. Some of my shoes got too loose.

Definitely. I went from having to buy 13W to a regular old 12. You lose fat from places you didn't realize you had it.

My hat size went down as well. blink.gif

I went from a 10 wide and some 11's to a regular 10. My feel LOOK smaller and thinner:)

I, also, had a big change in shoe size. I went from 8 1/2 or 9 w to 7 1/2 m. There were no 2 ways around it, I had to donate all my shoes and buy new ones. I, now, only own 1 pair flats, 2 dress sandals and 1 pair sneakers, 2 pair flip flops. I used to have at least 25 pairs in my closet. I have a friend who was banded 2 weeks ago that I advised that she would probably have to get rid of her shes, too! Karen

Thanks for all the responses - I will wait awhile to purchase new shoes in anticipation of a reduction in size!

I feel like mine have shrunk a tad, I wear an 11, I'm finding some are too big now. I feel like I probably wear a 10.5 which doesn't exist haha laugh.gif

yes - Size 8 down to 7. Sandals I wore last spring no longer fit correctly - there is so much room.

My shoe size changed from sizes 8 to 8.5 to size 7. One can only imagine how many shoes are wasted and that`s what makes me miserable but I guess it`s a blessing!

I expected that I would have to buy new clothes but I was surprised that I am having to purchase new shoes too. I am 6 months out and have had to hand down several pairs of adorable shoes to my mother because I can't keep them on any more.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
