Shoe size question



Recommended Posts

Ladies,

I love cute sexy shoes, but as you know the larger one is the harder it is to wear those 4 inch heels. Also, my feet have gotten larger over the years. Did any of you go down in shoe size as you lost weight?

Thanks,

Sydney

I lost a shoe size (8 down to 7 AUS sizes) and also, now I can wear high heels all night long. Previously, even 5 minutes in heels would have the soles of my feet feeling bruised and painful; 15 minutes and I'd have been unable to walk.

I've fallen in love with shoes all over again :thumbup:

Yes, my shoe size went down after losing weight. I used to wear size 9 wide and now I wear size 8 medium width. Its opened a new world for me with shoes because finding wide width was a challenge at times. I had to get rid of many of my shoes because it wasn't safe to walk in them. I even used thicker socks and inserts. It took me by surprise when my shoes didn't fit. Also, my rings spin around on my fingers. I haven't figured out when to go have my rings re-sized yet. It costs quite a bit to have them resized but probably worth it because I don't want them to slip off my fingers!

Nope. I have lost over 90lbs and the only difference is I don't HAVE to have a wide width.

I went from a size 10 to a size 8 1/2. I had such wonderful cute shoes that I loved. I am kind of a shoe aholic and it was really, really hard to give up my shoes. I had about 50 pair and some brand new. I'll never forget the first time I put a pair on and promptly walked right out of them. I hadn't even considered that fact that my feet and hands would shrink. So, I have given most of them away. I now own 3 pair and it is killing me. I turned my shoe fetish to purse fetish and I am now collecting purses. LOL.

I was very surprised when my shoes didn't fit anymore too. As for the rings, mine are all too big too. You can buy things at Walmart to put on them, I think they are called ring snuggies. They go on the back of the rings and make them fit. They only cost a few dollars. I am wearing them now because I don't want to have my rings resized until I get to goal.

That is so cool about the ring inserts at Walmart. I will check it out and get some. I don't have a WalMart near me but when I visit my Dad he has one by his house. Thanks for the tip! I love it.

I know what you mean about shoes. I have so many. Some of the ones that are too big, I saved! I couldn't part with them. I don't know what I am thinking. I gave all almost all of my clothes that don't fit but my shoes are tough to give up. I just gave up two pairs of leather boots to my Mom and Sister. I bought my first pair of leather boots that go up to my knees! I am in heaven. I grew up in Michigan and could NEVER get boots to fit my calves. I live in California and it still tickled me to find boots that went over my calves since I have lost weight. The little surprises of weight loss are delightful!

You can buy them other places besides walmart if you don't have one close to you. You can also get them on ebay. Just type in ring snuggies in the search box and a ton of them will pop up.

Excellent! I am going to check it out. I am so afraid my rings are going to slip off my fingers and I don't want to have them resized until I drop more weight. I am shooting for getting under 200 pounds soon!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
