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!!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
