How soon after surgery did you guys notice your shoe size was going down?

After the first 100 lbs. feet were down a size or size and a half, the other size and a half at 200 lbs. down (about 10 months total ).

I'm 7 weeks post-op tomorrow, so pretty quickly after, especially considering I'd already been stepping out of my 11s for at least a month before I finally replaced them. In fairness I had already lost 86 lbs while in pre-op, so I had a good head start.

Thanks for the input. I'm 3 weeks post op & have lost 27.8 lbs. My shoes are more loose now but it's not quite time to buy more shoes yet.

I'm almost 5 months out............and am still the same wide width.........but have gained a size.

I went from 13W to 14W or sometimes 15W on some shoes.

Clearly there is some Voodoo in the mix here......but it's good Voodoo as with bigger feet have come a bigger..............shoe?

Maybe your feet have become extra muscular :)

LOL. Probably more like they're stretching out like lazy dogs laying in the sunshine........and saying, "Good Lawd, boss.......thank you taking a load off us".

Speaking of dogs and loads..........I was recently in the per store getting some dry food for my dogs. I grabbed a fifty pound bag and walked through the store with it.....paid......and on across the parking lot. Way across the parking lot, too. Seems to be a new habit of mine....parking far away from entrances. As I was walking and carrying the food I thought about the fact that just a few months ago I was wearing the equivalent of 3 bags on my body. Damn. Just damn. I'm so grateful for the changes.

No complaints from me about the difficulties in finding shoes in stock in my new size. No complaints. Mail order will work just fine for this dude.

Well if anyone is going to the bigger feet, let it be the man. I think I would cry... Lol

That is such good news! I haven't tried to put on some other shoes besides my boots that now fit again ( with zipper) . Knowing that there might be less of a hassle finding summer shoes makes me happy!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
