Anyone Lose A Shoe Size?



Recommended Posts

I wear a size 12 wide shoe. I would live to drop a size or 2 after surgery. Has anyone had that happen?

I'm now wearing a 7 1/2. I was wearing an 8 or 8 1/2 depending on the shoe. I no longer have to have wide shoes. My feet actually look cute now lol.

Yep. From a 9.5/10W to a 9. No more wide shoes for me! :)

I was a 9 and now can wear 8 1/2. My 9s fit better now too. I was an 8 to 8 1/2 before I gained weight so I don't expect to drop much more if at all.

Yes, your feet get smaller. With my band I lost 1 - 1.5 shoe sizes, and went from wides to regulars.

Yes, or at least a couple of widths, I know. I am going to go get new safety shoes for work - It takes 3 big thick pairs of socks to keep my shoes from "farting" each step I take, :o!

I walked out of my 8.5 shoes the other day and now wear an 8.

I've been a 10 since I can remember. Now a year after surgery I'm an 8-81/2. I love it!! And I also can wear heels now. Before I couldn't walk 5 feet w/o it hurting. Now I'm good for a few hours. Lol

Yes,but it happened after only a week!!! I can't fit any of my shoes and I was not prepared for this. I liked my shoes :( However, if I go down to an 8 instead of the 9.5I was wearing I will stop complaining because atleast it will be easier to find shoes.

Being fresh post-op was awesome. Those squeezie hose, and the foot compressor things for 2 days... I had the teeniest, least swollen feet & ankles of my entire life. I was walking out of my shoes then and had to wear flipflops, mostly.

Of course, within a week of sitting at my desk I was back to puffy toes and cankles, and shoes fitting just right.

What're you guys doing with your big shoes? Donating them? I now wear an 11 down from a 12W (I'm a little taller than 5'10 so my feet aren't as ginormous as they sound, at least not proportionately) and I have probably 75 pairs of 12/12W shoes taking up space I could use to justify buying more shoes... ;)

Was a 10 now a 91/2 5 weeks post op. I use to be an 81/2. Also I had very swollen feet and couldn't wear heals. Not only am I wearing high heels now, I am a sales trainer and I am wearing them all day teaching in a classroom!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
