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.

:thumbup:

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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
