Jane1979 270 Posted August 22, 2016 Hi all! I am set for very first appointment Sep 9. I was wondering if anyone experienced losing weight in your feet. I'm not talking about the length of your foot. I mean the width and the tops. Mines are so fat on top that I can not even wear sneakers let alone real shoes. I've been stuck in crappy flip flops for a few years now. Family seems to think its Water. But who retains Water for 3 years!? I will attach a pic so you can see what I mean. WARNING. THE ATTACHED PHOTO MAY CAUSE GASPS, fainting and vomiting. Ps. I know, I need a pedicure. But arthritis pain has been very bad the past few weeks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted August 22, 2016 I have severe lymphoedema and lipoedema in my legs but it ends at my ankles. That said, since I have lost over 200 pounds so far, it is much easier to wear shoes! No boots anytime soon, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had to get inserts for many of my nicer shoes and I think I went from a 7 to a 6-61/2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoachBug 233 Posted August 22, 2016 This past week I have come to the conclusion that my feet are getting a tad skinnier. Been doing my best to keep active, since the end of May I am down 77lbs.. The past week when I have gotten back from my daily walks, I have either found new blisters or bloody feet (broken blisters). I was complaining to my daughter this weekend, because the shoes are well worn and shouldn't be causing blisters. She replied, "Dad, your feet have shrunk like everything else on your body. They are just sliding in your shoes more causing the blisters". So yeah, feet can eventually get a tad smaller width wise. I guess I can suffer through some blisters.
