Smaller Shoe Size?



Recommended Posts

After losing weight with the band, has anyone lost so much they went down a shoe size? I was a 11WW before pregnancy and am a 12WW now. I have huge arches and a venous insufficiency in my left leg, so my left foot is always swollen. I'd love it if after losing weight I could actually find a pair of sandals to fit over my swollen feet!

A guy in my support group says he lost a full shoe size. I thought he was just pulling my leg. Then I heard it from another person. I guess it can happen. Good luck to you!

I have also lost a full shoe size. Only my sneakers still fit because I can tie them tight.

Absolutley! I went from a 9 to a 7. Before surgery I had a lot of swelling in my feet and now I dont so they are much smaller.

No:((( I have genetically bad feet. I think I am the only woman in America who does'nt like shoe shopping. They never fit. My easyspirit walking sneakers are 8.5 WW. Most other brands I have to go to 9 or 9 1/2 W. My dad took WW and my grandmother WWW. I've lost 170 pounds so you'd think I'd see thinner feet by now.

Nope, before a 10 now a 10... But shoes fit better now and I can fit into different kinds now. Before I only wore tennis shoes and sandals.

      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.

      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!
