My feet are not shrinking!



Recommended Posts

I always hear everyone say their feet get smaller when they lose weight, well I started out at 280, and now down to 248, still the same shoe size and not even a bit looser! I am trying to wear those cute small shoes, but I just cant, I think im gonna have fat feet forever!:cool2:

It takes longer for your feet to shrink than it takes for your body. Give it more time...it'll come

I don't know if everyone's feet get smaller. It does take some time to lose a shoe size. I wore a size 11 at 315lbs and still at 250lbs. It was when I got below that my shoe size moved to like a 10.5 and then a 10 and now I'm a 9-9.5.

It sounds like you are looking forward to having smaller feet, so for your sake, I hope they do get smaller! Good luck!

OMG!! I didn't realize your feet really go up a shoe size...I mean I know it did, but I didn't realize you would lose a shoe size! I used to be 5 - 5 1/2 until I was 30 then when the weight came on I went up to a 7 - 7 1/2. Well I guess that's something else to look forward too!(:

My shoe size doesn't go up and down but, when I'm fat, I need a "W" (for "wide") and a lot of shoes don't fit but not because of the length but the "roundedness" of my feet, if you know what I mean.

My weight and shoe size change with each child I had. I had some really cute and pricey shoes I purchase before husband and kids that are in the basement because I cant get into them anymore. I had a shoe funeral 2 years ago. I tried on each one hoping for them to fit so that I could justify keeping them in the closet. I hadto bare over 50 pair. I am one of those girls that thinks if you have on a great pair of shoes, you really dont need anything else on. I would love to be able to reincarnate them.

As much as I was sad to say goodbye to my old shoes, I was more than happy to have my feet get smaller because at a size 11, I didn't have as many options, but now wearing 9-9.5 I have SO much more to choose from. Plus I am a lot more comfortable in heels!

I was under 200 pounds before I started seeing a difference in my feet. I don't wear wide shoes anymore, and I went from a 7 to a 6 so far. I bought a pair of black classic pumps yesterday and even the 6 was a little loose. My ankles and toes no longer swell, and I can see my shins!!!

150 plus pounds later and I am still an 8 wide (although they do fit better than before). As well, my breasts have totally deflated, but I have only gone from a DD cup size to a D (although on the bright side it is now a 36 D). :crying:

LMFAO..omg that was way too funny. I'm more worried about my deflating boobs :smile2:~ Of course the thought of my butt size crosses my mind, but not nearly as often as the tube socks I see when I look down...lol good luck all!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
