Do your feet get smaller with weight loss? I am 5'3" and wear a size 11 wide width shoe. I don't want to get little and have huge feet Lol!

Mine got narrower, and I went down about a half to a whole size. Went from a tight 10W to about a 9 regular width.

I went down about 1/2 size. But for years pre-surgery my feet would swell and shrink for some reason, so I never really knew my actual size. One bad thing about the shrinkage is that the hairs on my feet are closer together now. I have fuzzy Hobbit feet!!!!!!!!! :o

Heh. I can either cram my foot into a 12EEE or be comfy in a 13. I expect they'll shrink down some, and I'll have less issues with swelling. But I'll just stick with the 13s. I prefer big rattley shoes.

I've noticed that my feet are not as wide as they were last summer. Unfortunately I think they are still in the 10-11 range :(

My husband has always referred to my feet as Hobbit feet. I refer to them as Sasquatch feet; size and hairs, lol

My feet have definitely gotten smaller! I was a 9.5/10 and now I am closer to an 8.5/9. I think most of it has to do with the width of my feet but I do believe they have gotten smaller altogether. Yippee! :)

What's weird for me is the last few weeks my runners that I ALWAYS wear are too small and my big toes cramp up! It's so bad that I can't wear them. My toes are right to the edge and digging into the stitches. I have also found that my foot arches want to cramp up and charlie-horse every morning when I want to stretch.

My calves do too!

I wanna stretch darn it!

Lol

Off topic, sorry; but I guess I'm the odd one out - I think my feet got bigger!

Ladies, I hope this didn't happen to both of you. :)

I have noticed some of my shoes are getting too big..I was a perfect 40 (10US)

Yesterday I tried on some of my partners shoes that were a 9 and they fit perfectly! Rut roh shaggy!!!

For the shoes I really adore and were expensive I will use inserts like the little silicone pad for your heel to make them last.

Unfortunately, my feet are still wide. [emoji849]

My feet have shrunk about a half size and are more narrow. I had to get all new flip flops because my old ones were flying off my feet when I walked a couple of weeks ago.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
