I had surgery in Dec at 237 pound. My foot size was 8.5.

Now I'm down to 179 and I'm wearing an 8. Open toe shoes I fit in 7.5.

I've heard of it happening very frequently. I wish that it was happening to me! Size 11 is a bummer. I've always had a hard time finding clothes & shoes that fit me!

Great Question! I would really like to know the answer to this from some of the Vets on here. I have a lot of High Steppers (High Heel Shoes) that I really do not want to part with. Unless this will give me a reason to replenish my shoe closet. Ummmmmmmm

Well I guess my DH is going to have to replenish my shoe closet. :D Boiling over with excitement, but I am sure he won't be. LOL!

I went from a size 12W to size 11! I had to buy new shoes within six weeks of having surgery.

This makes me SO happy. I'm sick of never being able to wear truly gorgeous "eff me" shoes (sorry, it's what I've always called them), because they never seem to come in wide withs!

Yup. They sure do. I hadn't worn my dress shoes until almost 2 months after I was sleeved. I got dressed, put on my shoes (Yes, I only have 1 pair of dress shoes lol) and they were flopping on my feet. It was too late to stop & try to find a new pair. I was walking up the stairs at the event I went to & I literally stepped right out of my shoe!

Ur losing the fat in ur feet as well.. The fatter they are or get the bigger size you will need...

When i was pregnant mine went up to a size 9 from a 7 1/2, afterwards I went down to a 8 1/2 & as I continued to lose weight, Im finally back down to my 71/2s...

Me too! I started as a 12B, and I just bought a 10B that fits (dress shoes). I think in some shoes I'm a 10.5, because lots of the 10s were too small, but the 11s were too big.

Easier to find shoes, but not simple yet! I wish 10.5 was a common size for dress shoes, but I could not find 12s in stores before, so I'll deal with trying to figure out what brands fit me in a 10.

I just bought my first pair of dress shoes since surgery (6.5 months out), and I was surprised that it was a full TWO SIZES SMALLER! Holy moly.

In addition to loosing fat in your feet/ankles, as you become lighter you are not compressing the bones in your feet as much. You may find you have a higher arch as you loose weight from your foot not flattening as much.

      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?
