    I had to dig around through old pics for a comparison but here you go. (I'm 161.6 now so the "after pic" is a few months old). My feet look the same, just bonier.

  • For those of you who went down in shoe size dramatically, would you have considered your feet "fluffy" before?? I wouldn't have considered my feet to be fat before, but would love to be down from a 1

    No I never thought my feet held much fat but I went from a 10 to an 8-8.5.

Oh yea, I went from a 9.5 to 8.5! Yippee!

I was always a 'wide' foot now im 'normal' plus i went from a 7 1/2 to a 6 sometimes 6 1/2. I didn't think about losing so much from my feet !!

You've just totally excited me, making me realise I will be able to fit so many more shoes! I have wide feet but that should definitely change.

I have experienced this as well! I am only 2 months out and have lost about 50 lbs since surgery and have already noticed that all of my footwear is too big. I never considered my feet to be fat so I never thought they would get smaller....I guess it's a great excuse to go shoe shopping!

I'm curious if your feet had "grown" through your adulthood. I've been wearing the same size shoe since I was 12. I did go from narrow to medium after my 2nd pregnancy. I would be surprised if my shoe size changes with weight loss.

@@DaisyAmy, like Kristen, I never thought my feet were fat either. But I went from a size 8.5 when I wore a size 8-10 in clothes to a 9.5 wide as I started to gain weight. My largest dress size was a 20 & depending on the top, a 22.

I can now wear a size 10 again & my feet are back to an 8.5

Interestingly, back in the day, when I weighed 165, I was in a size 14, not sure what's happening. My sister is slightly under 5"2. & she weighs the exact same & wears a 14?! I don't get it.

Even as a guy I lost a shoe size. I was 13 wide and now I am 12 regular.

Oh I just bought 5 new pairs of shoes in the sales!

Im 10 days preop so I better get some serious usage out of them!

I haven;t really noticed any changes in my feet size other than them being bonier and my toes being a little less plump. This said, I wore a pair of Keen sandals two weeks ago that I haven;t worn in months and had to tighten them because they were stretched out in the width. I don;t expect a big change n my feet size. I've been wearing size 10 shoes since 6th grade. Sadly my 10yo daughter has my feet.

I'm just looking forward to wearing heels again. I've heard when you loose the weight they are not so uncomfortable to walk on. At the moment I live in rubber slip ons and my feet ache a lot. Hope this all changes.

Yay! So happy I'm not the only one with "shrinking feet syndrome"! Lol I went from a size 9 to7 1/2. I am about 17 months post op.

I wore heels when I was 350. My feet would hurt after a couple hours and most of the next day. Now i can wear heels all day. My feet hurt after maybe 8 or 9 hours and as soon as i take the shoes off the pain ends.

I have long feet, always have, runs in the family. Went from wides back to medium. Mught end up in a narrow, but I hope not, they are as big a pain as wides.
