Have any of you noticed if you lost in your feet also? My mom lost like a whole shoe size one time so I was wondering if any of you have found that with the WLS. She was on a diet at the time.

Yes, I definitely lost in my feet. Not only did they shrink in length, but they also shrank in thickness(which is prob why they shrank in length). Many of my old comfy shoes are simply too big now. :)

I lost an entire size in my feet and went from a wide shoe to a medium width. Lost a whole closet full of shoes, but what I've gained is so much more. :)

My shoes are looser and I'm thrilled. Halfway through my pregnancy last year my work shoes (loafer style) wouldn't fit anymore. When I went back to work they still didn't fit and I was screaming and throwing them across the room. I was probably 2-3 months out til I could even get in them anymore. Now I'm a month out from surgery and can slip them on no problem!

I've definitly noticed my shoes get loser. I had put on some weight the year before surgery and my shoes had gotten too tight one me that i couldn't even wear them. I remember crying and feeling so badly and that was one of the things that pushed me to surgery. Any way those shoes fit loosely not even with thick socks!! And I'm hoping I lose even more. I've always ha extra big and wide feet (12 or 13 extra wide) so it would be great to be able to fit into a regular 11 one day! I think I would pass out haha

When I had my original surgery (evil band) 5yrs ago I went from a 9 to a 7 1/2 shoe size lol. I still wear a 7 1/2 even with the weight I gained back. Hoping not to have to get new shoes again this time lol

I thought I was going to get away without my feet shrinking, but in the last couple weeks I have noticed that my feet have gotten narrower. The shoe size is the same, but all my shoes and sandals are way to loose. Add new shoes to go with a whole new wardrobe. It gets expensive, but gee, what a wonderful problem to have!!!

My feet have shrank about a 1/2 size. ALL my shoes are to stretched out, and I had a lot of shoes. But its all good. Packed them all up and sent them on there way!. I have already cleaned out my closet three times, and I'm only 5 weeks out.

God I love it:)

Lots of change in my feet. My shoes that were too tight before are now almost falling off of my feet.

My shoes are big. I love heels. I have heels I couldn't wear anymore bc I was too heavy and they were too tight. Oh yeah, im back in them now. Some of them are big so I just add a dr scholls cushion inside and they fit better and feel better.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
