Do your feet get smaller with weight loss? I am 5'3" and wear a size 11 wide width shoe. I don't want to get little and have huge feet Lol!

Mine got narrower, and I went down about a half to a whole size. Went from a tight 10W to about a 9 regular width.

I went down about 1/2 size. But for years pre-surgery my feet would swell and shrink for some reason, so I never really knew my actual size. One bad thing about the shrinkage is that the hairs on my feet are closer together now. I have fuzzy Hobbit feet!!!!!!!!! :o

Heh. I can either cram my foot into a 12EEE or be comfy in a 13. I expect they'll shrink down some, and I'll have less issues with swelling. But I'll just stick with the 13s. I prefer big rattley shoes.

I've noticed that my feet are not as wide as they were last summer. Unfortunately I think they are still in the 10-11 range :(

My husband has always referred to my feet as Hobbit feet. I refer to them as Sasquatch feet; size and hairs, lol

My feet have definitely gotten smaller! I was a 9.5/10 and now I am closer to an 8.5/9. I think most of it has to do with the width of my feet but I do believe they have gotten smaller altogether. Yippee! :)

What's weird for me is the last few weeks my runners that I ALWAYS wear are too small and my big toes cramp up! It's so bad that I can't wear them. My toes are right to the edge and digging into the stitches. I have also found that my foot arches want to cramp up and charlie-horse every morning when I want to stretch.

My calves do too!

I wanna stretch darn it!

Lol

Off topic, sorry; but I guess I'm the odd one out - I think my feet got bigger!

Ladies, I hope this didn't happen to both of you. :)

I have noticed some of my shoes are getting too big..I was a perfect 40 (10US)

Yesterday I tried on some of my partners shoes that were a 9 and they fit perfectly! Rut roh shaggy!!!

For the shoes I really adore and were expensive I will use inserts like the little silicone pad for your heel to make them last.

Unfortunately, my feet are still wide. [emoji849]

My feet have shrunk about a half size and are more narrow. I had to get all new flip flops because my old ones were flying off my feet when I walked a couple of weeks ago.

      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.
