Dropping a shoe size?



Recommended Posts

Anyone who lost a good amount of weight drop a shoe size? I was always an 11, and then after I had my first DD and my weight climbed I became a 12. Sometimes I can wear a 11W depending on the shoe. I was wondering if maybe I'd go back down to an 11, It's much easier to find 11's than there is to find 12's. Just curious......

That happened to me when I lost 110 pounds a few years ago! I went from an 11W to a 10 or 10W depending on style. Amazing that even your feet shrink. I feel your pain as a bigger-footed gal. I have a hard enough time finding attractive, comfy 11s!

BTW, I've heard of people losing even more than one size after big weight loss.

I've heard of it happening, but I have yet to have it happen for me, I'm still wearing my size 10's. Maybe as I lose more, it'll happen..

At one of my support group meetings (its mandatory at the hospital I am getting the surgery done .. go army regulations /end sarcasm) some of the ladies were talking about loosing 2-3 shoe sizes .. I could not imagine going from a 8 1/2-9 to something smaller ... kind of freaks me out LOL

I have dropped a size and a half, and gone from wide to regular width.

Yes, even our feet get fat. :mad:

LOL, losing 2-3 shoe sizes is kinda funny, and it makes me wonder if my feet would be big enough to keep me from falling on my face!

Actually, though, my feet were this big when I was fairly skinny, so I doubt it'll happen for me. :mad:

I was a shoe size ten, and now I'm a nine. It was dangerous because I was walking out of my loafers, and actually tripped one day. I had to stuff the toes with tissue until I could get a new pair. I guess this summer the old size ten sandals will be going in the Good Will bag too. Bummer, I love my sandals.... OK, I'm over it now. Let the shopping begin! LOL :biggrin:

I've been an 11 for a long time and now my shoes are loose on me! The annoying thing is that most shoes don't come in 10.5 because after 10s, the shoes go up in whole sizes. So my 11s are loose but the 10s are too small! I hope my foot shrinks to the 10 soon!

I'm inlove with zappos.com, you can put in the type of shoe you want and the size you are looking for and only the shoes in that size will come up, so you don't have to go through them all. PLUS it's free shipping there and back! Can't beat that!

Depending on shoe style

Gym shoes went from 10-10.5 w to 8.5 regular

Heels went from 11 -10 to 8.5 maybe 9 depends on syle

but im so excited .. there is a shoe store near me called BAKERS and thier shoes run narrow!!! and i went there 2wks ago, asked a girl for a size 9.5 and she came back and said we only have a 8.5 so i figured all try.. and guess what they slipped on no problem... So i walked out of theier with a new pair of sexy 8.5 heels!!!!:smile:

      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.
