I have a question. Has anyone's shoe size gotten smaller with weight loss?

Yes!! I noticed this last night actually. I'm almost 5 weeks post op, and have been just wearing flip flops lately in this hot weather. Got dressed up in my heels, and my foot kept sliding out of my shoe. I had tried on 4 pairs, and all the same...loose. Although it was a bummer not to have shoes to match my outfit, I laughed so hard out of joy, I'm starting to see the changes in my body and despite the pain and struggle in the beginning, the sleeve is totally worth it. =)

Yay!! So happy for you!!! I just wanted to wait to make sure I didn't go out and buy new shoes and then have them be too small in a couple of months!!

Oh yes. All my shoes are too loose. My sandals slip around on my feet and the converse etc will go flying off if I kick my foot.

Me too, I went down a 1/2 size. Im actually back to my normal size 8, I had gone up as the pounds got put on. So there are lots of shoes in my closet that I can wear again. Joy :)

I noticed this too today when my ugly stepsister foot slipped easily into Cinderella's slipper!

Oh yes. It's another great benefit I hadn't even considered. I was a 10 wide that was usually too tight. Always flats and rubber soles, clogs, etc. I couldn't wear nice heels because they didn't fit and would have looked ridiculous on my large body. I had a blast today trying on tons of shoes in an 8.5 and 9! Pointy toes and stiletto heels! Who knew??

I was an 11 extra wide. Now I'm a 10.5 wide. I'm hoping I will ditch the wide width shoes altogether.

Was a size 8 1/2 to 9 now I am a solid 8 and will probably go down another 1/2 size eventually. :)
