Did your shoe size change with weight loss?



Recommended Posts

As I gained large amounts of weight my shoe size went from a 9 to an 11. I am only 2 weeks into this lapband journey but I am wondering if your shoe size changed after you lost a lot of weight.

Yes. I wore 11W before. Now I don't need the wide anymore and can wear some 10's.

I was wearing a 8 1/2W or 9 - and now I can fit in a regular 8 1/2 and in some cases an 8

I stayed the same size, but my foot is deffinately more narrow. Some of my shoes got too loose.

Definitely. I went from having to buy 13W to a regular old 12. You lose fat from places you didn't realize you had it.

My hat size went down as well. blink.gif

I went from a 10 wide and some 11's to a regular 10. My feel LOOK smaller and thinner:)

I, also, had a big change in shoe size. I went from 8 1/2 or 9 w to 7 1/2 m. There were no 2 ways around it, I had to donate all my shoes and buy new ones. I, now, only own 1 pair flats, 2 dress sandals and 1 pair sneakers, 2 pair flip flops. I used to have at least 25 pairs in my closet. I have a friend who was banded 2 weeks ago that I advised that she would probably have to get rid of her shes, too! Karen

Thanks for all the responses - I will wait awhile to purchase new shoes in anticipation of a reduction in size!

I feel like mine have shrunk a tad, I wear an 11, I'm finding some are too big now. I feel like I probably wear a 10.5 which doesn't exist haha laugh.gif

yes - Size 8 down to 7. Sandals I wore last spring no longer fit correctly - there is so much room.

My shoe size changed from sizes 8 to 8.5 to size 7. One can only imagine how many shoes are wasted and that`s what makes me miserable but I guess it`s a blessing!

I expected that I would have to buy new clothes but I was surprised that I am having to purchase new shoes too. I am 6 months out and have had to hand down several pairs of adorable shoes to my mother because I can't keep them on any more.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
