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.

      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! 😞
