I was wondering if anyone has noticed a change in shoe size since they have lost weight. I am currently a 9.5-10 depending on the shoe!! I would love to have a smaller shoe size!!!

Funny you should ask!!

I went and bought some new shoes last weekend and I have ALWAYS worn a 10 in a dress shoe. ALWAYS!!! Depending of my weight, I sometimes need a WIDE!! I wear a 9,5 in a tennis shoe.

So, I get these really cute dress sandals for work and try on the 10W and it is HUGE on me. so I get the 9.5W, same thing! I ended up getting the 9M. My foot went down a whole size!! THAT IS CRAZY!!

I have lost weight before, but never had my foot go down a whole size!! Just the width!

When I lost 70 lbs a couple years ago, I lost a 1 and a half shoe sizes. I never gained it back even when the lbs came back, so yeah you will lose some inches in your feet too.

You will lose in width, but not length. I'm a size 10 and so are all the supermodels!

ps - I'm a shoe-***** too.

I would LOVE to not be a wide width anymore. I could shop at all the cute places instead of just Payless. :)

So far I'm down 67lbs and I'm down half a shoe size or even an entire size depending on brand. My shoes all seem too big and too wide now. I have a friend who also lost a lot of weight and lost almost 2 sizes.

i had a lot of flats and sandals in my closet that I haven't been able to wear for several years. Over the last two weeks all of them now fit me comfortably so with 80lbs lost my foot is shrinking. I was an 8.5 extra wide, so for years now I have been wearing sneakers every day. It is really nice to actually be able to wear something else for once. I can't wait to lose more and actually go shoe shopping one day.

My foot shrunk a whole bumch, and it happened pretty soon after surgery. I went from a 9 1/2 Wide to a regular 8 about 2 months after surgery. I haven't ized myself since, but I think they may have gone down even more than that. Its been hot enough that I've just stuck to flip flops for now. I am getting close to the end (knock on wood) and am going to wait until winter to really but any more shoes. It's amazing how much changes, in't it?

I am a shoe addict. I Have recently bought some shoes, and found I had to switch from an 8 1/2 to an 8. And, the 8 1/2's I wore a lot at my heaviest, I walk right out of now. Wonder if I will end up a 7 1/2 again?

I don't care about the length. I just want the width to shrink. I am sooooooo tired of trying to find something that fits my wide foot. I would love to go to a store and say wow those are cute shoes, I would like to try those on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
