Shoe Size?

[jaime1190 7]

Just wondering if after weight loss has anyone noticed a difference in there shoe size, or have your feet got smaller?

I have gone from wide to normal width, but if you search the site, you will find a few threads on this topic saying people have gotten smaller.

I used to wear a 9w and now none of my shoes fit. I'm in an 8.5 medium 35 days post-op.

I wore a 15w before surgery and can wear a regular 15 now, maybe even a 14w depending on the shoe brand.

I lost a whole size, from 9 to 8. It was quite a pain cause I had bought a pair of great running shoes and in 3 months they didn't fit.

Yes! I went from a 10 to a 9 or 9 1/2.

I went from 8 1/2 to 7 1/2

My feet swelled a lot before, my fingers too. My rings are all huge on me now and had to buy new shoes

My wedding bands are now on my pointer fingers. Going to get them sized but I want to get to goal first cause I want them to have to cut them or whatever they do just once.

This is good to know. I recently bought sandals and boots a 1/2 size smaller (they were on sale) in anticipation for a bit of shrinkage after the surgery. I too will be glad they won't look like Miss Piggy feet!!

Thanks for your input everyone. I to, one day look forward to wearing heels and being comfortable in them and look great!

I went from a 9-10 W depending on brand and type, to a 8m, and in heels sometimes 7.5 - no kidding. I was told by an orthopedic therapist that is is due to the weight loss off the soles of the feet, but also we apparently store a bit of fat in the structure of the foot itself.

This is wonderful news!

i wore my first pair of regular Nine West heels!

Felt fantastic!

I sprained my foot BADLY the week before my when i lost 40+ pounds. It was all black and blue. We thought I'd broken it. Almost postponed my surgery.

What happened was my foot got thinner and I was walking down a set of stairs right after i'd slipped on my tennis shoes. I didn't notice that my foot was too loose in the shoe and my ankle twisted side ways. Man, I cried and screamed like a baby. Sprains are nasty. I still have problems with it.

Moral of story: with weight loss, make sure your shoes fit!!!

Opps, left out a word: week before my WLS surgery.
