Did anyone's shoe size change afterwards?



Recommended Posts

I currently weigh 330lbs and wear a size 10 EE. I can only fit into a few styles of shoes.

Did anyone drop a shoe size or get to a normal shoe width after losing weightr?

Yes! I dropped a whole shoe size. all my old sandals would just fall off me. I had a wide foot before and now not so much. :wink2:

i have lost 100lbs and my shoe size went down a size i went from 9 and half to 8 and half and some shoes i have to wear an 8 so no worries on that part you will eventually lose from your feet as well.... good luck on your journey

I've lost 75 lbs and have gone from a wide to a regular width. My daughter commented I have veiny feet now. Thanks for noticing, dear! ^_^

Omg i never thought about losing weight off my feet. I hope i don't drop any sizes because i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE shoes and i have so many that i love (i own close to 50 pair). I would hate to give them up. But i only wear a size 7.5 and i don't wear wide so i don't think i will loose anything (i hope).

Some time before I hit 50 pounds down, my shoe size went back to an 8 1/2 -- when I was at my heaviest, I was wearing a 9.

I lost a half-size in my shoes.

It's amazing how the body changes. Most everything gets smaller. SOME "components" actually got BIGGER. A LOT bigger.

It's also interesting to note that when I was at a particular weight many years ago, and fit into a certain size pants, well, I'm at that weight now, but the pants don't fit any more! The entire body structure just changes, and not just in size.

I have already noticed my shoes getting looser. I was a size 8 when I was thinner years ago and now I am a size 10. I am sure I will lose a size when I continue down the road on my band journey. I agree with Reneek, I have a lot of shoes that I love and now I may have to give some of them up. Such a small price to pay for freedom from the torture of being overweight!

Yes, I can tell that my feet are getting smaller. My shoes are beginning to fall off.

Yes, I went from a size 9 to size 8. I used to wear wide width and now I am a regular width. It was totally unexpected. I just noticed that my feet would flop in my shoes because my shoes were so big. It was almost dangerous at times becuase they were too big. I had to basically buy all new shoes - isn't that a shame? I also have had to move my rings from one finger to another finger because they also became too loose. I didn't expect that either.

I was talking to my mom about this yesturday after i read this thread and she said that they sale things that go in your shoes to make to make them fit tighter. She also said if you put the gel insoles in it will also make you shoes fit tighter. I don't know if this works or not but i thought i would share.

It is so ironic that I found this thread!! Just this weekend I found a pair of ADORABLE shoes that were on sale, but were an 8 1/2; I wear 9 1/2-10. They looked like they would fit, and I tried them on and VOILA!! I was so surprised, I tried on like 10 other pairs of 8 1/2's they all FIT!!

That was the size I wore before I had my 2 kids, and I'm back!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
