do your shoes still fit?



Recommended Posts

Those of you who have reached your goal weights or close to it, have you noticed if your feet have shrunk enough to warrant a different size?Curious, as I had bought expensive but comfy shoes for summer as they are open mesh and opentoe and strapheels.

I am concerned that they may be too big for me next summer.

What do you think?

anyone had that problem?

My feet have shrunk substantially. None of my shoes fit and I'm still 40lbs from goal. I used to wear an 8.5Wide, now I can wear a 7.5 or 8 regular width(depending on the style of shoe). Some flip flops I still need an 8.5, but tennis shoes, or runners I need a 7.5.

I was more upset about my shoes not fitting than I was about my clothes. I seriously love shoes ! ! !

Mine did too! With the band loss originally it was almost a wwhole size........ so I got to be a 9 or 9 1/2 (who hoo....sarcasm here......still huge and limited cheap options) but I used to be and 10 1/2 or an 11.

I also lost some width too!

BUT I COULD BUY BOOTS OFF THE RACK................that was amazing and of course expensive!

My shoes -at least all the summer sandals (mostly mules) are too big and my feet slip in them if I have to walk any distance. I haven't tried any new shoes on yet, but am sure that I will no longer need a wide width and am hoping a smaller size.

My shoes got loose right away. I still take the same size most of the time but my feet aren't as wide so all the wide styles I used to wear are too big.

Mine shrunk too. I have gone from a 9W to a normal width 8 1/2. I am amazed at how much cuter the shoes are just from going down that tiny bit.

I can't imagine buying shoes that aren't wide. So much more variety!

From the guy side, my feet have shrunk. I went from an 11 1/2 wide to just a plain old 11 now!!!!

I wear an 11 1/2 wide. I'd be HAPPY to be just plain 11 or 11 1/2.

It's a pain (literally and figuratively) to find shoes that fit properly!

Brandi - what a great line about the earrings - I may use that with friends!

I had my feet measured at a shoe store yesterday. My feet have dropped a half a size in length and have gone back to a medium width. So now, I am getting rid of the shoes I bought when I was at my highest weight and going back to the size I was years ago. Too bad I had gotten rid of most of the shoes in THAT size ages ago. DAMN - I am being FORCED to buy shoes - what a burden! (evil smile)

      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.
