Hello I think this is really weird/funny. I went shopping the other day, and decided to try on some sandals. Before my surgery I wore 10 WW shoes. Now I am in a 9 regular shoe. I understand the width part as you lose weight. But how can your feet get shorter? LOL

mine only got narrower (from a wide to a medium), but I've heard of people losing a shoe size, too. It does seem weird, but...it happens.

I went from a 38.5/39 to a 37.5/38. My feet are narrower too but they weren’t really wide before. If you think about there being fat all around your foot not just across the width it dies make sense. Just like you’ll notice your fingers get thinner.

It doesn’t take much. I’m a couple of kilos lighter this winter than last & it’s been enough for the boots I could wear then to be too big - my feet are slipping & slopping around inside. New boots for me I guess. What a shame - 😂😂😂

Like us women need so many excuses to buy new shoes/boots. LOL

My feet have always been wide, even when I was a normal sized kid. Before I got really fat I wore an 8.5 wide, but often had to buy 9 or even 10 if I couldn't find wide width. My foot wasn't longer, but the bigger shoe accommodated for the width. At my highest weight I wore a 10W and sometimes and 11. I'm still losing weight, but I'm back down to and 8.5 or 9 now that I've lost 150.
My already wide feet got wider when I was bigger and now they're just their normal wide width.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
