Changes in Shoe Sizes?



Recommended Posts

Yes! I would much prefer to keep my fat feet and loose more booty, because already I have 3 pairs of expensive clogs (only shoes I wear for work and even for walking) that are now too big-- and just broke out my favorite pair of flipflops yesterday only to discover that they're way too big too! I'm so glad that this is my last week at school, so I don't have to worry too much about clogs again until September.. I don't dare go out now and get any new ones, just incase my feet keep shrinking! Maybe I should give my sneakers another chance, and see if I can walk in them pain-free like I do in my clogs. I hadn't been able to get my wedding and engagement rings off for at least the last 3 years.. finally the very night before my scope I was able to get them off, I was panicking that I wouldn't be able to, and they'd have to be cut off for surgery lol. Now they're spinning on my finger all day long. I'm going to have to get them sized soon, or just put them away for a bit, so I don't lose them, until my fingers are done shrinking as well.

The size of your foot changing can happen from a lot of factors.

You aren't as heavy and now you have more of an arch, so you no longer need wide widths

Mild to severe Edema that is corrected with losing weight, overall loss

Fat loss

In my case I had edema, that cause a lot of Water retention. A lot more than I ever thought. Now that the weather is warmer, it is back a little but nothing like it was before, because basically there is less of me to fill with Fluid. I have flat feet, but since I lost weight I have more an arch, not a lot more, but not totally Flintstone flat like they were before. I have long feet, it runs in the family. I have however lost at least 1/2 a size, it is almost a full size, and I no longer need wides. I also don't need wide width boots anymore, which is annoying since I have a few grand in wide width boots collected over the years. I expect by the end of the year I will be down a full shoe size.

      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.

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