Those of you down to your goal, did your shoe size shrink? If so by how many sizes? I wear a size 11 and can't wait! I never can find cute shoes and the few stores that carry my size carry wide only and I dont have wide feet or ankles. Hoping they will shrink but also dont get the science of it, I dont feel much fat on my foot so how does it shrink?

Janice when I when I got to goal with my band my foot went down 1 to 1/2 a size, depending on the brand of course. I started at an 8 1/2-9 and went down to an 8

Not sure if it's true but someone told me the bones in your foot get wider with the more weight it has to carry. Something like that lol.

Boy, that is good to know. I'm in a size 12 wide and there are zero choices where I'm at. I'd be thrilled to drop a shoe size.

For your sake id hope youd drop two because there is nothing in 11 either. Its funny the average women's shoe size in America is a 9 yet department stores dont go above 10

I'm 6.5 months out, and I went from 12 to 10.

Not only are you loosing fat in your foot (some- there's not actually a huge difference in length between sizes next to each other), but you're also putting less compression on your foot. The bones in your foot spread out when you stand. It's why your foot looks bigger when you are standing up than where there is no weight on it. You will probably find that your arch is higher after loosing weight.

I'm down 80-90 lbs (official weigh in tomorrow). I lost a half shoe size at about 40-50 pounds lost.

I had a high arch, and as I got heavier it collapsed a bit. I'm back to the size I was in high school - at least the shoe size! So my foot didn't actually grow longer, it just spread out more and is now not being as crushed down.

I didn't find out it was smaller until I got fitted for tennis shoes at the mall. And I no longer need wides!

Now, to find someone who can modify my custom orthotics so I'm not out another $400...

      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.

      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! 😞
