I am a tall Gal , about 5'8" ... I have always had big feet. When I was younger I would ask my Dad " Why are my feet so big compared to other girls in my class ?"

He used to say: Honey, you can't put Volkswagen tires on a Cadillac !

Well, I am wondering if any of you Veteran Sleevers are wearing a smaller shoe size now that you have lost a good portion of your excess weight or did they stay the size length but just got thinner ???

I am soooo curious if my size 11 feet will turn into a size 9 maybe or maybe not lol

I think it's possible I've always been a size 8 to 8 and a half and as I've put weight on over the years I'm now a 9 and a half to a 10

Unfortunately, yes my feet got smaller. So now I have some shoes I love that just slip right off my feet. I went from wearing an 8 - 8.5 to wearing a 7.5 - 8. Mostly my foot is narrower, but smaller all around too.

Oh No!!! i didn't think about that. I sure hope not. This is how I am rewarding myself for pre-op weight loss. For every 5 pounds I lose pre-op I buy a pair of shoes...I'm 1.2 pounds away from my first pair. My goal is to have 5 new pair by surgery....i will just DIE if they don't fit after surgery.

I am also 5'8" and since losing over 100 pounds my shoes have gone from size 10.5 to size 9. I wasn't expecting this, it took me by surprise when my shoes started slipping off me!

I made some people very happy when I donated some of my more expensive shoes, that's for sure! It has been an expensive exercise, replacing shoes, so I have been very conservative as I don't know whether they will shrink more!

I did go and buy new knee high boots a couple of weeks ago and when I pulled the pair I liked and asked the sales assistant If she had them in a nine she responded "we have them in a nine but I am not sure if we have them in a slim fit, these wide ones will be far too wide for your slim calves". I almost kissed her! Happiest shoe buying moment ever. Especially after years of struggling to get boots that go over my calves!

None of my sandals from last summer fit...I can't keep them on my feet! I bought two new pairs about a month ago and I'm sliding out of those too. It's aggravating to me but my sister is sure enjoying all my shoes.. And clothes lol

This will be so interesting for me to see...I was telling my Dad the other day how many people experience their feet shrinking after weight loss and he said "well, it is probably because being overweight causes your arches to fall, and once the weight is gone, the arch returns to its "natural" state"...which was a buzzkill for me since I have had flat feet my entire life...so not sure I will be trading in my size 10s (which I've been since I was about 10 years old) for a smaller size...

      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...

      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
