Question about Feet



Recommended Posts

Gosh I hate to even ask this question because it seems silly but for those that have lost quite a bit of weight did you find that your shoe size changed at all? The reason I ask is several years ago my brother lost quite a bit of weight and he made the comment that he went down one shoe size. I didnt know if he was kidding or not. So can I look forward to shrinking feet or not? Thanks

Makes sense to me. I know my feet were a narrow 9 in High School and then averaged at a 10 for many years. Now I'm an 11 wide!!!

How cool to think of wearing "pretty" shoes again!

Hi Siyah

Mine are a 11 wide also. I travel a lot for work and its such a pain to pack more shoes because they take up so much room in the suitcase. Gosh I would be so nice to wear something smaller....even one size smaller would be great. Good luck on your weight loss journey. I hope to have my band sometime with in the next couple of months. Just trying to learn all I can...

Yep, feet shrinkage and cuter shoes is a definite plus! I was a nine wide and am presently a 8 1/2 normal.

Yep, and I can now wear some non-wide width shoes. It's on of those cool things that I didn't even think about.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
