Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Hi Guys - I've heard a couple of females discussing this, and wanted to see if any guys experienced this too: going down a shoe size once the weight starts coming off.

I totally get going from wide-width to regular, but do guys experience a length shortening too? Seems weird. I'm currently a size 14 and wouldn't mind going to a 13 (14's are hard to find in regular stores).

Thoughts?

I lost a half size after WLS. It took about 6 months to get there. I was a 10 1/2 in high school, but when I put on the weight, my feet would swell - on and off - and I had to buy size 11's.

I didn't notice any reduction in shoe size or shoe width after surgery. But others including males in our bariatric surgery support group meetings did.

I have gone down a shoe size.

At work I kicked my shoe across the room, realized it was time to go shoe shopping. It happens. I went from an 11 down to a ten!

Within a couple of weeks of surgery, the edema in my legs, ankles and feet was gone, and I dropped an entire shoe size in length and width...

Currently wearing 14 wides.......would be nice to go to a 13 regular.

Sure would be easier to find them.

I'm about 6 months and 120+ish (estimated) pounds post surgery and have definitely changed shoe size...

My collection of 37 pairs of Converse All-Stars (Chucks) now ranges from size 13 down to size 11...

I still wear the size 13's but they're a little uncomfortable...

I'll not let that stop me tho...

Chicks dig the interesting shoe type of ****...

Don't they???

I was wondering about this too. Very interesting. I'll make a little extra room in my new clothes budget for new kicks.

I think I've changed too. I was a 13 1/2 before. Need to probably go with a 12 1/2 now. I have some 13-14 boots though that I still wear. Love my boots too much to part with em!!

Thankfully I'm not the only one. I have a size 14 New Balance EW (Extra-wide) and I can't seem to tie them tight enough. I think I may have to try a 13 EW and see how they feel.

Honestly, I knew boxers, shorts, shirts and stuff would fall in sizes, I never gave my feet that consideration.

I went from a 12 to an 11 after 120 pounds of weight loss.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
