BZButterfly79 19 Posted December 8, 2010 Feet, who likes to talk about that but it has been on my mind(not in any weird kind of way). Here is why, before I ballooned to "error" on the scale I used to wear a 8.5-9 US size(by the way I am 5'9). Then I had my children and you know the rest...but I currently wear a 11!! My post is asking you to share whether you feet have stayed the same, have gotten smaller in some way(by the way I also buy WIDE-like a semi-truck). Between you and me, one of the things I miss the most is finding and wearing cute shoes. Would you care to share your foot story pre-op versus post-op:) Thank you so much, my surgery date is now Dec. 15th. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oopsseedaisy 90 Posted December 8, 2010 One of the things on my top ten reasons to get WLS is to be able to fit in cute shoes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffykins 673 Posted December 8, 2010 GOOD NEWS ! ! ! Feet shrink too. At least mine have, and they've shrunk tremendously. I wore a solid 8-8.5W pre-op, today I wear a comfortable 7 (normal width). I think the only reason I need an 8-8.5 is because my foot was wide like a wooden boat, I also have flat feet, with a high instep so to squeeze my "Fred Flintstone" feet, as my lovely husband calls them (how I'd like to strangle him), into decent shoes I needed the extra length to accommodate the fatness of my feet. One of my most profound NSVs: Being able to see all the tiny bones in my feet, and to have space in between my toes without spreading out my toes. I had little sausages for toes, now their boney and I actually have toenails that look good polished LOL ! ! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
