Anyone who lost a good amount of weight drop a shoe size? I was always an 11, and then after I had my first DD and my weight climbed I became a 12. Sometimes I can wear a 11W depending on the shoe. I was wondering if maybe I'd go back down to an 11, It's much easier to find 11's than there is to find 12's. Just curious......

Yes, even our feet get fat. :smile:

A little off topic, but even our EYES get fat.

Two weeks after I had the band, I took my daughter in for her annual eye exam. I casually mentioned needing to schedule myself an appointment, and asked if I should wait a few months or so because I had just had the LapBand a few weeks prior.

He confirmed what I had heard through the grapevine that sometimes our sight will change after losing/or gaining weight. He said that fat accumulates behind our eyeballs, causing vision changes.

So, I am going to wait a few more months before scheduling a new appointment.

It makes sense to me, as I never needed glasses as a child or teen... but suddenly needed them when I got pregnant with my first child.

Wow, it sure sounds like I have something to look forward to! I went up a whole size in my weight gain, but because I loved my smaller shoes, I KEPT them!! Wha-hoo!! :smile:

Too funny! I went from a size 8 shoe to now a size 9. I am looking forward to going back to size 8. (It's funny because I have as many shoe sizes as dress sizes!)

Wow, didn't know about the eye thing! I hope my eyes improve a little!!

As far a cute shoes in big sizes, you all hit the nail on the head: Zappos.com!!! Actually, I don't order from the website because I work about 10 miles from the distribution center and their fab-o outlet store!

I'm doing the yard sale gig here in a couple of months and selling my giganto-shoes and then let the shopping commence!!

Ok, I am going to have to check out this zappos.com, it sounds awesome.
