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!

      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.
