Hi all!

I am set for very first appointment Sep 9.

I was wondering if anyone experienced losing weight in your feet.

I'm not talking about the length of your foot. I mean the width and the tops. Mines are so fat on top that I can not even wear sneakers let alone real shoes. I've been stuck in crappy flip flops for a few years now. Family seems to think its Water. But who retains water for 3 years!?

I will attach a pic so you can see what I mean.

Ps. I know, I need a pedicure. But arthritis pain has been very bad the past few weeks.

I have severe lymphoedema and lipoedema in my legs but it ends at my ankles. That said, since I have lost over 200 pounds so far, it is much easier to wear shoes!

No boots anytime soon, though.

I'm overdue for a pedicure (which I can actually get now because I can fit in the pedicure chairs!).

@@Jane1979 Many people lose weight in their feet. I was hoping "@@Inner Surfer Girl" would comment because I know she deals with lympoedema. Glad to see she has.

@@Inner Surfer Girl I managed to survive 8 east coast winters without boots. So I'm cool with that lol. Yet another thing to look forward too! Thanks for always answering

I had pretty bad swelling in my feet and lower legs and it was really the first place I started loosing.....My surgery was 5/16/16 and I've lost 63 pounds so far and all the swelling in my feet is pretty much gone.

Good luck to you!!

I hope you were kidding. Chubby feet aren't cause for gasping, fainting or vomiting! :-)

@@kmorri that's great! 63 lbs congrats and keep up the awesome work. It's amazing how simple things like wearing normal shoes can become a goal.

Glad to hear all your swelling is gone. God bless.

Only 6 weeks out but I totally lost weight in my feet. Most of my shoes are too big on me now. I've had to get inserts for many of my nicer shoes and I think I went from a 7 to a 6-61/2.

This past week I have come to the conclusion that my feet are getting a tad skinnier. Been doing my best to keep active, since the end of May I am down 77lbs.. The past week when I have gotten back from my daily walks, I have either found new blisters or bloody feet (broken blisters). I was complaining to my daughter this weekend, because the shoes are well worn and shouldn't be causing blisters. She replied, "Dad, your feet have shrunk like everything else on your body. They are just sliding in your shoes more causing the blisters".

So yeah, feet can eventually get a tad smaller width wise. I guess I can suffer through some blisters.

@@Jane1979 Those are NOT gross feet. My post-winter 'dragon feet' are gross I've only lost 43 lbs so far and my feet are already thinner...I didn't gain a lot in my feet even when I was really heavy, but I can tell that my calves and feet are thinner from the way some of my shoes fit. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

My big goal for this fall is to fit these calves into a pair of Hunter rain boots. I want them soooo badly!
