So I've read that your feet shrink as the pounds are coming off...(I'm assuming they get thinner and less swelling )

So I'm curious to know how many people went down in shoe size after WLS?

Nope, just feet getting slender. I have a few shoes that just float on my feet nowerdays. Not comfortable at all so I have started buying new shoes. I'm also taking some to shoe repair to see if they can tighten the slingbacks. Otherwise, new is the new me these days.

My are getting more slender. At some point I will have to discard all of my wide shoes which have a sloppy fit now, even with thick socks.

I put on a pair of socks yesterday that are about ten years old. The no show type? There was probably a half inch from the back of my foot to the sock loose! My shoes are sloppy but broke in and ugly and comfortable. I hate breaking in new shoes. Crocs are my fav. I bought the orange Chef Mario Batelli crocs and they are pretty loose. For me, I paid a lot for them so I'm wearing the cussing things!!!

I was shocked when I went shopping for sneakers, I no longer needed to buy wide width. The new narrow width gave me so many more options I may become a shoe girl and buy all the latest styles! LOL

I went from a 8W ( wide) to a 6.5 ???? I am 6 months out. I just donated TONS of shoes :)

you just made me very happy! I wear a 8 w but my feet are so short! They're very wide and thick. I'm I go down just like you. Though I can fit into kid tennis shoes.

Sadly, I still wear an 8.5 or 9. My calves are now 15 inches instead of 16, and my ankles have gone from 9 to 8 inches. I have flat feet. So I'm not sure they will get any skinnier. Even when I hit my goal weight, I doubt my arches will come back!

I had such high hopes for a smaller shoe size. However, I started at s 9.5 and I'm still at a 9.5.

I've lost two sizes on my feet since losing weight - and i'm not at goal yet.. doubt they will get any smaller though as they are smaller now than when I got married at age 18 and I was 30lbs lighter then than I am now!

I've been wearing 11s for a while, but I think I was really a 10 1/2 wide. Now 10s usually fit. This is beyond feet, but I bought some boots last week - and not wide-calf! That was a total NSV for me. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
