Let's talk Feet...



Recommended Posts

I have really wide feet and don't even bother looking in ordinary shoe shops anymore :cry

Have any of you had your feet shrink either in width or size as the pounds have dropped away?

It would be nice to think there is a chance of finding some really trendy shoes that fit as time goes by...

I have just begun my "banded journey", but with just 24 lbs gone, my shoes are getting more loose. My friend had gastric bypass last year and she lost 2 shoe sizes as well as going from wide to "regular". She can wear the "cute" shoes too. I'm with you. I want to get rid of the grannie shoes I have and get something sexier. Can't wait! Let's do it!

Now I wear an 11 or 12 wide. When I've lost weight before, and before I got fat, I wore a 10.

Man, that is what I am hoping for too. I've read several posts about people having their feet shrink some or become more narrow - so there is hope!

Yep, I think everything shrinks, even the feet!

I started out in a regular 10 and even though I can still fit a lot of my 10's, I can also fit some 9 and 9 1/2.

9 1/2 to 10 (preferably wide, but could squeeze into some regulars) before, I'm down 55~60 lbs, and I can wear most 8 1/2's. I still get some wides, but many aren't. The shoes that I wore for my sister's wedding a week ago were 8 regs.

I'm in "Next size Violin Case" now but I hope that eventually I will be able to at least fit in some nice 10 1/2 or maybe even 10. WHooho- that would be soooo cool! :clap2:

For sure they do- I was a 8 1/2 & when I tried some shoes this past fall nothing fit! I had to go buy 2 pair both were 9 1/2. It seemed more in my length BUT couldn't have been true b/c now I am almost 40 pds down & now my old shoes are fitting again! thank goodness!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
