I was always a 'wide' foot now im 'normal' plus i went from a 7 1/2 to a 6 sometimes 6 1/2. I didn't think about losing so much from my feet !!

For those of you who went down in shoe size dramatically, would you have considered your feet "fluffy" before?? I wouldn't have considered my feet to be fat before, but would love to be down from a 10w!

No I never thought my feet held much fat but I went from a 10 to an 8-8.5.

You've just totally excited me, making me realise I will be able to fit so many more shoes! I have wide feet but that should definitely change.

I have experienced this as well! I am only 2 months out and have lost about 50 lbs since surgery and have already noticed that all of my footwear is too big. I never considered my feet to be fat so I never thought they would get smaller....I guess it's a great excuse to go shoe shopping!

I'm curious if your feet had "grown" through your adulthood. I've been wearing the same size shoe since I was 12. I did go from narrow to medium after my 2nd pregnancy. I would be surprised if my shoe size changes with weight loss.

@@DaisyAmy, like Kristen, I never thought my feet were fat either. But I went from a size 8.5 when I wore a size 8-10 in clothes to a 9.5 wide as I started to gain weight. My largest dress size was a 20 & depending on the top, a 22.

I can now wear a size 10 again & my feet are back to an 8.5

Interestingly, back in the day, when I weighed 165, I was in a size 14, not sure what's happening. My sister is slightly under 5"2. & she weighs the exact same & wears a 14?! I don't get it.

I had to dig around through old pics for a comparison but here you go. (I'm 161.6 now so the "after pic" is a few months old). My feet look the same, just bonier.

Even as a guy I lost a shoe size. I was 13 wide and now I am 12 regular.

I haven;t really noticed any changes in my feet size other than them being bonier and my toes being a little less plump. This said, I wore a pair of Keen sandals two weeks ago that I haven;t worn in months and had to tighten them because they were stretched out in the width. I don;t expect a big change n my feet size. I've been wearing size 10 shoes since 6th grade. Sadly my 10yo daughter has my feet.

I'm just looking forward to wearing heels again. I've heard when you loose the weight they are not so uncomfortable to walk on. At the moment I live in rubber slip ons and my feet ache a lot. Hope this all changes.

      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.
