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?

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!

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.

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. :-)

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
