Hello all

I was just wondering if any of you have smaller feet after losing a significant amount of weight?

I am just getting started, I am down 50 lbs from my heaviest weight and I can say that my shoes are definitely fitting better these days. Previously my shoes would be tight across the top of my foot, and cute little flats gave me muffin top of the foot. They are much cuter now :-D

I've lost 120 pounds and now weigh 118. My feet were 9w. Now they are a... 9. WTH? My daughter summed it up for me when she came over last time when she looked at my feet and said "Mom, you lost so much weight but you still have GIANT HOBBIT FEET!!!". Don't be jealous, girls, she'll ALL mine!! Lol

Thanks to her I can't help but think of my feet as Hobbit feet now... :-p

I was just noticing that this morning when I put on some lace up shoes. They used to be tight in a size 8, and now they are so big. I had to go from an 8w to a 7 regular.

Yes, I can sometimes fit in a 9.5. I used to always have to buy a 10.

I haven't lost as much as most, but I can say that slingback shoes without the buckle strap are annoying. The sling slides down my heal often, plus some of my other shoes are swimming on my foot. I have taken a pair to the shoe repair to have them adjusted. Love needing to do that, but don't like thinking about buying new shoes.

Yes for sure I have noticed that too. Strange I never thought I had fat feet before-but now they just look so much more slender!

Yes!!!! So bitter that I had to get rid if all my shoes!!! I love shoes! I wore anything from a 10 to an 11; now, I wear anything from a 9 to a 10. The tens I did have were too wide, so I had to chunk then too :( . But, I'll take it because it symbolizes that I'm not that big girl anymore!

Hello all I was just wondering if any of you have smaller feet after losing a significant amount of weight?

Started at 12w. Now 12 m. So no, my feet are still huge and I am not tall. Runs in my mothers family with the males and me. My brothers have 9's. Lucky them.

Good to hear.... I am hoping to go down a size. I am still pre-op though.

Wow, after reading all of the responses I wonder if this is a male/female thing.

I've lost 185 pounds so far and while me feet LOOK skinnier than they used to, I still wear the same 15 EEE that I have for the last 20+ years.

Minus 130 pounds, I'm still in size 11 shoes but no longer need extra wide, perhaps not even wide.

Have a pair of maryjane style with Velcro fastener. The strap is so long now across my ankle, it is bizarre.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
