Do your feet really shrink?



Recommended Posts

Hate to break it to you but you'd best start parting with some t make room for a smaller size. :D

It seems to happen for most. I have gone down half a size so far and that size is starting to get loose.

I am such a shoe hoarder that my husband built me a shoe wall in our basement. I can give away clothes, but my shoes it will be hard.

I would think they could shrink. Before kids and gaining weight I was a size 8-8.5, now I'm a 10.5-11 :(

This will be interesting...I have flat feet and have been a size 10 since I was 10 years old (apparently Bigfoot is a distant relative). Over the past year, I have felt more comfortable in a 10.5 or 11...I would LOVE to be smaller than a 10, because, although the time has passed where shoe stores would only get one size 10 in each style, shoes just look so much cuter in a smaller size (like clothes do!) :-)

I am a size 10/11...my tens had gotten too small for a few years...now I am back in them. I think it is just the swelling is gone now where my diet is different now. I am 5'10"...my feet are not going to shrink, but they have stopped the every day swelling out of my shoe...

Oh, I so wish I hadn't been able to part with mine. I hadn't been able to wear them for years & my foot size has grown so figured it was a lost cause keeping my closet cluttered for no reason. I'm just sick about giving them up. Of course, now it's been about 10 years since I gave them up, but you know, they were classic shoes, so they never go out of style. I adored them but there is no way I can ever afford another pair. I had bought 2 pair when I was single & then my husband bought me another 2 pair for my birthday one year. My first two pair were from the Beverly Hills store on Rodeo Drive....I used to work in B.H. when I lived in CA, so I'd go on my lunch & window shopped (& saved a lot) till I could afford my first pair!! They were as comfy as sneakers & soooooo pretty!

Hey! Maybe I'll start saving now & by the time I get to goal, I will buy myself another pair! Yeah...right. For some reason, now that I'm a Mom, I can't even make myself spend that kind of money on just shoes. :unsure: Good luck going shopping for yours!

        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
