Shrinking feet???



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed their shoes getting too big? I wouldn't have dreamed that would happen, but I guess it make sense since pregnancy can cause the need to buy bigger shoes.

Also, I thought of a NSV I'm looking forward to. It will be nice when I can hang my pants on ANY hanger and not have to bypass the ones with the little supports built in.

What a journey! I'm much happier taking the time to soak in the sites on my journey rather than focusing only on my destination.

I wore a 6 1/2-7 consistently until I was above 250. I maxed out at an 8W. Now I'm in a 7 1/2 regular and am interested to see if they'll shrink further or if this is it.

Imagine my surprise when I tried on some size 9's (I usually wear a 9W) at Target and THEY FIT! The WIDE is gone!

Yes, the feet get fat, too! So, when you take your meausurements and they are not changing, remember, there is weight in your face, neck, hands and feet, all places you don't normally measure!

I've lost a full size.....and my feet don't hurt as badly as they used to but probably do have some permanent damage to the bones.

My eyeglasses are also much too large....the fall off my face if I bend over~~

My rings are now falling off too. If you don't see the pounds you can see the inch.

I sort of hadnt noticed that my feet had gotten bigger. I have size 10 feet anyway, pretty much the biggest you can get in Australia in women's shoes, without going into specialist shoes or having them made.

Because of the ankle problem - chronic bursitis - that I'd developed that was my main reason for surgery, I had huge swellings on the lateral side of either ankle, in that hollow at the side of your heel and it was very painful to press. So for a year at least, all I'd worn on my feet apart from boots or similar when I went out at night, was clogs and birkenstocks. Which is my general everyday style anyway. But with all the loafers and the like that came into fashion last winter, I suddenly realised I couldnt get size 10 shoes on my feet anymore.

Since losing 29kg, and getting my ankles better too, I'm now a 9 to 9 and a half again.

Woowoo! Manolos here we come! I bought an AMAZING pair of St. John heels that were the tiniest big snug at a killer price a few weeks ago. After reading how much people's feet have shrunk, I wonder if they'll be too big.

Well, if that's the case it won't matter because I can finally borrow my sister's shoes. :rolleyes:

I got a ring last Dec for my BD and it was a VERY tight 6 but DH and everyone else said wait a while before you get it resized..lol..not I will have to get it resized smaller not bigger!

Yes all my shoe that I have are to big. I have slip on pretty shoes and I was out doing business last week and I had to climb a flight of stairs outside, they kept falling off on every step...lol...it is fun isn't it!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
