Shoe size question



Recommended Posts

*clears throat* I'll take any of your old 9.5W's... ;-)

This excites me SO much! I love shoes but have crazy trouble finding them in my size. I only have 2 pairs that I will cry if I have to give up, but then I have SO many more choices that those tears won't last long! :-D

I went from a size 10 to a size 8 1/2. I had such wonderful cute shoes that I loved.

Thanks guys, I wear an 11...and have TONS of cute sexy shoes...but the truth is they hurt like hell on my super big feet. Would love to go down to a 10 to have more selection. :eek:

I sooo hope I'm one of the foot-shrinkers. I seem to have been going up in size as I've put on weight over the years, and my feet are bigger than anyone in my family.

Even if I just no longer need wide widths that would be great. (Nobody around here carries ww!)

Ooo, this has me so excited!

Actually that is the best part of my shoe size shrinking from my weight loss. I used to wear Wide width and now I wear Medium width. Its made a world of difference in finding shoes that fit. I live in North Hollywood (Los Angeles) and there are quite a few stores that carry Wide width but now that I am a Medium width, the amount of stores that carry Medium width is enormous. I think of it as yet another "perk" to losing weight. I never anticipated it. I also can stand for longer periods of time and walk farther distances. My shoes seem to fit better too.

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.

I had to buy them too, my rings were falling off as I walked. In shoes, I went from a 10 to a 8 1/2:thumbup:

This is so exciting to hear!! I haven't had surgery yet but I meet with my surgeon March 2, hopefully get my surgery date then!

anywho, I wear a size 11 wide width, and its the hardeat thing in the world to find cute shoes that don't hurt my feet and don't cost a ridiculous amount of money. I end up at payless hoping their not sold out because the selection is so small. This gives me hope that after surgery I can wear a size 9 (preferably and 8, but i'm kind of tall) and get some sexy stilletos! Thanks ladies!!

Hello everyone:

At my highest weight I wore a 26/28 in clothes, and a 9.5w -10w (sometimes 11 for the width) shoe. Now I am a 16/18 an I almost fell out when I realized I now wear a 8.5 shoe. People told me that you feet shrink once you lose weight. Of course I did not believe them. I am noping that my hard-headedness will shrink also. :P

I gave away all my best shoes when I gave birth and it looked like I wasn't going to be an 8.5 again... But this post gives me major hope that maybe I'll go back down!!

      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.
