I think my feet are shrinking!



Recommended Posts

Anyone else feel like their feet are getting smaller with their weightloss? I swear the pair I have on have grown a size or more on me....they used to fit just fine now I had to stuff kleenex in the toes just to keep them on!

Am I alone here?

I still wear the same size in length but they are definately narrower. They never swell anymore and I think that's what's doing it for me. Congrats on the NSV. :biggrin2:

You are not alone. You do lose weight in your feet and/or Fluid retention. I've had to get rid of a few pairs of shoes cause I can't keep them on my feet any longer. ... and you thought you'd just need new clothes.:biggrin2:

Mine are definitely narrower. I can see the bones in my feet now. I took a picture the other night. A few weeks ago, my ever observant 6 year old son told me, "Mommy, your feet are skinny!" My hands are much smaller now too. I used to swell in my hands and feet frequently but not anymore.

Same here. My son has commented that my feet and ankles are skinny now, to which I replied, "That's great, but I'm trying to get it off the butt and the gut!"

Yep, from a size 10 or 9.5W to now a 9M or 8.5 sometimes. I still have a bit to lose, so I might even go down more.

      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.
