Shoe size shrunk?

I remember years ago when I was 24 and went from 245 lbs to 178, my shoe size got smaller from a 9 to 8.5. I was wondering if anyone has experienced their shoe size getting smaller now that they are 6+ months post op?

Yes, I went down a size, I was a 9 now I am a 8. You lose weight in your feet for sure !!!!

I definitely noticed a change in my feet. I had some flats that were a tad uncomfortable and would rub on the knuckle part of my big toe. Wore them a couple months ago and they were so loose, that they flipped and flopped on my foot all day and created a nasty blister on my heel.

When I was younger I was an 8, and then when I was pregnant my feet went up to a 9 and never went down. After losing all this weight I'm back in a solid 8!

I lost 50 lbs when I was 18 and my shoe size went down a size.

Thank God that I'm not crazy. I will be 6 months out on dec. 5th and noticed that all my cute size 11, 10w and 10 shoes doesn't fit anymore but I don't remember ever wearing a 9. Guess I'm gonna have to try a 9 or 9w. I'm a slow loser but my feet seems to be losing more than my body. Don't want to invest on new shoes now cos the way my feet is going, I will go down to size 6 in the next 6months LOL.

I pray my feet shrink. I started at a 10 ans gained a half a day size with each pregnancy. Now I wear a 12 and finding shoes is very painful.

I'm 7 weeks post op and noticed that I can wear a 9 and 9 1/2 down from a 10 :)

Me too!

As a heavy person my feet got very wide. I was wearing a 9 1/2w, more for the width than the length. I'm in an 8 1/2 now and sometimes an 8, which was my pre-pregnancy size 28 years ago. :-)
