When I gained my weight, my shoe size went up. Do they go back down?

I am 5 weeks out and 40 lbs down. I haven't lost a shoe size yet (thank goodness), but I have lost the "fat girl lean" haha. My shoes look and fit so much better. I am hoping I don't lose any shoe sizes. I love my shoes!!

Yes, my shoe size went down about a size. I was in 10W that was always a little too snug, but 11s were too big, to now a 9 that fits well. I can sometimes wear and 8.5 depending on how it's made. LOL at the fat girl lean - that's gone, too!

I still wear all the same shoes 8-8.5 W and I've lost over 100 lbs. I guess the everyone is different adage applies.

I have lost right at 100 pounds and my shoe size stayed the same. Size 8 regular.

I went from always wearing a wide 11.5 - did not matter which brand - to a regular 10 in popular brands like Nike (which I believe run a little small). It felt good to walk into a running store mid month 5 and buy a normal size 10 running shoe and have it fit perfectly. First time that had ever happened to me, ever.

My shoe width went from wide to medium but the length hasn't changed. Had to buy some new belts size XL and toss all my 3Xs! Yayeeee!

      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.
