I was wondering if anyone has lost a shoe size with their weight loss. I would be very sad if this happened to me and I had to replace all my shoes (I have quite the collection). I was just saying to my boyfriend the other day that the only thing that still fits me are my socks and shoes. Everything else has been replaced a few times already as I get smaller.

About 18 years ago I lost over 100 lbs and I went from a size 10 shoe to an 8.5. Since I've been sleeved (6 weeks post op) all my clothes are big but I just bought a new pair of sneakers and they are the same size, however I do expect to be in a 9 once I've lost all my weight, that was my shoe size before I gained all my weight.

Yes, I have lost half to a full shoe size. I can wear insoles in most of my shoes and have them still fit, which is actually great as it makes them more comfortable. I only a have a few pair, plus my favorite black boots, that are just flat out too big.

My favorite sandals that I wore all the time before surgery are too big for me now. I know I've gone down at least a size.

I'm at 8 months out, and all of my shoes are too big and have had to be replaced.

I suppose it depends on if you have "fat feet" or not... I know some bigger girls with very skinny feet.

So far I have lost 1/2 of a size. From a 9 to 8 1/2.

I have also gone from a 9 to 8.5! I had to buy tennis shoes before a 5k I just participated in. Lol

I think my actual shoe size is the same but as my feet got fatter they stretched my shoes out most of which flip flop now;-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
