Has anyone else's feet gotten smaller, I seem to have gone down a whole size from a (UK) 7 to a 6; I'm flapping about in my Jimmy Choo's that fitted me not so long ago?

@@RosieCheeks

as you lose weight, most parts/areas of your body "shrink"

including your feet :rolleyes:

while you are losing from your feet (swelling etc)

loose skin/excess weight from feet area will disappear

therefore your feet/shoe size will be smaller

good luck

I have lost 2 shoe sizes and gone from wearing wides to regular widths.

Two things caused this, weight loss, but also with the weight loss, I don't really retain Water anymore. My feet were almost always a little swollen, and that is not the case anymore.

@ proudgrammy

Thank you.

Watch out Ebay - there will be a mega amount of very expensive new/worn once shoes in a UK 7 on sale very soon!

This is awesome. Just another great weight loss non-scale victory to look forward to. Congratulations!

Get you Ms RosieCheeks-Jimmy Choo's. I have to agree with the feet losing weight though. I've lost a bit from my trotters but the biggest difference is the circumference of my calves. I'm getting into boots that have been relegated to the back of the cupboard for years. Loving it. Mind you, it has saved my neck when my nearest and dearest (Mr 'We're on an economy drive') spied a new pair of boots. I used the 'these old things' line. Of course the excuse works EVERY time as there is no way that a mere man can remember exactly what his woman's footwear looks like from season to season! I am a complete shoeholic so I have to have viable excuses at the ready! Oh the NSVs, especially the ones that keep your addictions flowing!

I LOVE shoes (and handbags but don't get me started...) and have loads, most of which I've never worn for some bizarre reason. Donald J Pliner is one of my faves - I just love pointy shoes/boots.

Talking about calves, I'm struggling - I think I've got lymphoedema. It's relatively common post cancer from what I gather and despite my GP telling me 'some women are just like that' - I'm ignoring him and pressing other avenues for treatment. I'm not losing all this weight to end up with elephant legs!

I'm just 20 days post sleeve and all three pairs of shoes I have worn this weekend are looser. I had intended to get one ret h because they pitch the top of my food but now they are perfect.

I never seemed to have puffy feet but I guess I was retaining Water. I have a hard time finding ding shoes that feel comfortable, so wow... Another unexpected side effect of weight loss!

I bought a pair of boots this year that are XS in the calf .. i could have cried, in between all the whooping and laughing I did. Roll on the January sales ;)

Postscript: Also I wear heels now, rather than flats as I used to hate trying to ram my fat feet into nice shoes but now I can wear what I want. Whoop Whoop.

Me to only 2 weeks post op but wore heals last night that were tight this summer and sip up a new pair of UGGs I bought in the sale earlier this year which wouldn't sip up. Very happy.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
