My feet are not shrinking!



Recommended Posts

I always hear everyone say their feet get smaller when they lose weight, well I started out at 280, and now down to 248, still the same shoe size and not even a bit looser! I am trying to wear those cute small shoes, but I just cant, I think im gonna have fat feet forever!:cool2:

It takes longer for your feet to shrink than it takes for your body. Give it more time...it'll come

I don't know if everyone's feet get smaller. It does take some time to lose a shoe size. I wore a size 11 at 315lbs and still at 250lbs. It was when I got below that my shoe size moved to like a 10.5 and then a 10 and now I'm a 9-9.5.

It sounds like you are looking forward to having smaller feet, so for your sake, I hope they do get smaller! Good luck!

OMG!! I didn't realize your feet really go up a shoe size...I mean I know it did, but I didn't realize you would lose a shoe size! I used to be 5 - 5 1/2 until I was 30 then when the weight came on I went up to a 7 - 7 1/2. Well I guess that's something else to look forward too!(:

My shoe size doesn't go up and down but, when I'm fat, I need a "W" (for "wide") and a lot of shoes don't fit but not because of the length but the "roundedness" of my feet, if you know what I mean.

My weight and shoe size change with each child I had. I had some really cute and pricey shoes I purchase before husband and kids that are in the basement because I cant get into them anymore. I had a shoe funeral 2 years ago. I tried on each one hoping for them to fit so that I could justify keeping them in the closet. I hadto bare over 50 pair. I am one of those girls that thinks if you have on a great pair of shoes, you really dont need anything else on. I would love to be able to reincarnate them.

As much as I was sad to say goodbye to my old shoes, I was more than happy to have my feet get smaller because at a size 11, I didn't have as many options, but now wearing 9-9.5 I have SO much more to choose from. Plus I am a lot more comfortable in heels!

I was under 200 pounds before I started seeing a difference in my feet. I don't wear wide shoes anymore, and I went from a 7 to a 6 so far. I bought a pair of black classic pumps yesterday and even the 6 was a little loose. My ankles and toes no longer swell, and I can see my shins!!!

150 plus pounds later and I am still an 8 wide (although they do fit better than before). As well, my breasts have totally deflated, but I have only gone from a DD cup size to a D (although on the bright side it is now a 36 D). :crying:

LMFAO..omg that was way too funny. I'm more worried about my deflating boobs :smile2:~ Of course the thought of my butt size crosses my mind, but not nearly as often as the tube socks I see when I look down...lol good luck all!!!

      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.
