For those of you who lost 100 pounds or more or anybody did you lose weight in your feet? The reason I ask is that my feet are so big now and it takes me about 30 minutes to put my shoes and socks on and I have so many problems finding shoes that fit.

Also, did anyone find that their balance improved with weight loss? :mad: I call my self a weeble(weebles wobble but they don't fall down) because I feel like my balance is all screwed up. Can't wait to be banded - looking forward to a better life.

Thanks

I used to wear a 9W and now I can wear an 8 or 81/2B. My balance is about the same, I think.

Yep, there's a few threads around here about this, I think. From what I recall, many folks have lost at least width and in quite a few cases, a shoe size.

I am looking forward to it myself (being an 11W)

I've only lost 40 pounds but went from an 8 1/2 to an 8. I started taking yoga and I do believe that has helped my balance plus I find I am walking and standing much taller than before.

I was tight in my 8s and into 8.5 when I got banded. Now my 8.5s are swimming on me and I'm comfortably in 8s again. I'm only down 33lbs too. When I was young and skinny (in college was the last time) I was a 7. I doubt I'll get there again but maybe 7.5. I have skinny feet to start with (the only part of me that was skinny!)so not sure losing more weight will make much of a difference but you never know.

:DThanks to all whom replied. I forgot to explain that I currently wear a 101/2WWWW so my only hope is to get back to the 10 M I used to wear in college. Heck I would be happy with a 10W right now. But thanks again and have a great 4th of July.

You guys are great!!!:whoo:

Well, I'm down (unofficially) 44 pounds and I'm SWIMMING in my birkenstocks that I bought almost a year ago! Hopefully this info helps!

I've gone from a 10 to 9 - 91/2 but the best thing is that my feet used to swell everyday w/ fluid , especially if I wore sandals and now after 58 lb loss , they're skinny. It's weird seeing the bones on the tops of my feet. Also my heel pain is pretty much gone.

I haven't lost 100 lbs. I am down about 85 since my preop diet. I definitely feel the difference in my shoes. I am not down a size but they are looser.

My feet, ankles and calves, and my hands, wrists and forearms are postively boney now - I lost about 85lb.

I didnt change a whole shoe size but6 I'm sure my feet have actually gotten smaller becuase I never used to wear closed shoes - I have bursitis of one heel that was very swollen and I always chose backless shoes - mules, clogs etc, apart from a few larger boots and winter shoes that I had, that were actually size 11, and noticeably too big but accommodated my sore heel.

I notice I can wear closed shoes again in a size 10 comfortably, I just bought a really sexy pair of heels for a night out and some new winter boots. So they have probably shrunk a little.

I also had to relace my running shoes several times where I've never had to do that before - because the tops of my feet lost fat, not that I had very fat feet in the first place but I did have to redo the way I laced them.

I've gone from up to an 11W to an 8.5. 11W was pretty rare, usually it was 10W, but still. I don't have to buy the W shoes anymore either. This was true at about 50 lbs lost, and now I'm at 85 lbs lost.

I just started, and hope to see my shoe size drop from 8 1/2 or 9W to smaller. But most of all, I want to be able to have ankles again!!!!

I went from a size 8.5 to a 6.

Hi Ya'll,

All your responses are music to my ears or should I say feet! Thanks for the replies!!!

I haven't lost 100lbs but I have lost 80 and I have no difference in shoe size. Maybe another 20lbs will make a difference? Not sure.

I'd love to see that effect! It's really hard to find shoes in my size in my town (9W) but there are 8's all over the dang place! I wore an 8 once upon a time at my same height about 100 lbs ago so I have hope! :confused:
