Feet size

Ok this is going to sound weird....do your feet get smaller in size (not width) when you lose weight???? I don't want to get my hopes up, I'm a size 11!!!!

I have/had a lot to lose 150# altogether to reach goal so I asked my surgeon about that and he said to expect to go down 1 or 2 sizes as well as moving to normal width so I am holding off on new shoes for a bit

I can say that I have to lace the ol tennies a little tighter and there is now more toe room with the 50#'s I have lost so far so I think i'll be needing some new Nike's

Yes, you can go down up to two sizes depending on your current size and normal Fluid retention in your feet. Most of the weight is actually fluid and not fat in the feet.

Yes, I went from a women's size 12W to a 10R when I went from 329 lbs to 214 lbs back in 2009. So yeah, expect to buy smaller sized shoes when you lose more and more weight! Amazing isn't it? LOL

I really hope my feet shrink in width. I really don't care about length really. My feet are wide and I have a he'll of time finding shoes/sneakers that are comfortable. I even had to get men's rollerblades just do I'd have a little more width. And I still get a blister on my foot everytime I wear them. I've lost 47# (I think) since banding and over 100# since my highest weight and I don't believe they've shrunk yet

I'm 5'9 so I have big honking feet as it is. I started having to wear an 11, now...almost 50lbs down...I can wear a 10W or a 10R. I don't think I'll go down much smaller than that. Even when I weighed 155lbs back in the day I was a size 10. My dad always used to tell me I could just wear the boxes from his new shoes...nice guy.

As my sister says we have platypus feet. She is a normal size person and takes wides. My nephews even as small thin children had wide feet. We got it from both sides of the family so no matter how thin we may be we take wide shoes. GRRRR
