Lets talk about shoes!



Recommended Posts

Just a question about shoes. Did you lose shoe sizes after weight loss and were you able to wear different kind of shoes now that you weren't able to prior to surgery? I really want to start wearing wedges and heels but my feet, ankles and knees hurt terribly with any shoes higher than 1-2inches.

Yes! I was a 7 1/2 - 8 before surgery, and now I am a 6 1/2-7. I bought my first pair of platform pumps several months ago, and I am able to walk in them with no problems.

Huge change! I went from a 9 wide to an 8 or 8 1/2 and I can wear heels! I bought a pair of beautiful high heeled boots and wore them all winter. Now I am wearing heels 2 - 3 inch heels, platform sandals and wedges daily. It's what 120 less lbs does! My knees and ankles were awful before and I had to wear orthotics. No more!

I was a 12w when I started loosing weight and now I'm down to about a standard 11. I'm only 3 months out but I was thrilled about this part. It was always really hard to find shoes. The only thing that sucks is that a lot of the shoes I did have no longer fit, but at least I get to buy some new ones. :)

Wow, didn't even think about the possible size change... I can't wait to feel comfortable walking in heels and wedges but I guess I shouldn't buy any shoes until I lose more weight!

Thanks for the replies ladies. I currently wear a size 8 -8/12 in shoes depending on the style and a 9-10 in sandles and wedges due to my feet being so wide. I can't wear standard size boots becasue I have 18" calves, they arent even flabby. I have pretty muscular legs with barely any jiggle. Sigh, I cant wait until I get a surgery date.

I want from a 6 1/2 to a 4 1/2 (kids) or 5 women's depending on the shoe.. I can wear heals as well but not like 6 inches or anything but I have been known to sport 4 to 4 1/2 inch!!!

I went from a six wide (when I could find them) to a five normal. I can wear kids 4s too and bought sperry topsiders in the kids department for 50.00 cheaper than the exact same shoes in the womens dept.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
