Changes in Shoe Sizes?



Recommended Posts

Yes! I would much prefer to keep my fat feet and loose more booty, because already I have 3 pairs of expensive clogs (only shoes I wear for work and even for walking) that are now too big-- and just broke out my favorite pair of flipflops yesterday only to discover that they're way too big too! I'm so glad that this is my last week at school, so I don't have to worry too much about clogs again until September.. I don't dare go out now and get any new ones, just incase my feet keep shrinking! Maybe I should give my sneakers another chance, and see if I can walk in them pain-free like I do in my clogs. I hadn't been able to get my wedding and engagement rings off for at least the last 3 years.. finally the very night before my scope I was able to get them off, I was panicking that I wouldn't be able to, and they'd have to be cut off for surgery lol. Now they're spinning on my finger all day long. I'm going to have to get them sized soon, or just put them away for a bit, so I don't lose them, until my fingers are done shrinking as well.

The size of your foot changing can happen from a lot of factors.

You aren't as heavy and now you have more of an arch, so you no longer need wide widths

Mild to severe Edema that is corrected with losing weight, overall loss

Fat loss

In my case I had edema, that cause a lot of Water retention. A lot more than I ever thought. Now that the weather is warmer, it is back a little but nothing like it was before, because basically there is less of me to fill with Fluid. I have flat feet, but since I lost weight I have more an arch, not a lot more, but not totally Flintstone flat like they were before. I have long feet, it runs in the family. I have however lost at least 1/2 a size, it is almost a full size, and I no longer need wides. I also don't need wide width boots anymore, which is annoying since I have a few grand in wide width boots collected over the years. I expect by the end of the year I will be down a full shoe size.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
