Thanks!

I noticed the same thing Jill !!! In fact I accused my son putting his big feet into my sandals to take the trash out and stretching them out lol.

I was wearing 9 wides and now Im down to 8 1/2 no wides lol very strange. Here I'm losing weight in my feet and my boobs are staying the same dang it lol. Hubby is glad about that though and I was hoping my boobs would get smaller not my feet !!!!!!!!!!

LOL Its really weird isn't it, I've lost loads of weight from my face, shoulders, hips & bum, but not off my thighs, calfs or ankles. I hope it goes from everywhere eventually but if it doesn't I'm still happy, healthy & feeling great.....that is good enough for me.
I love my little band friend!!

All the best...Jill

When I lost my weight back in 2005 - 2006 I loved buying new sandals and summer shoes.  My feet are wideeeeeee and I have thick ankles, thick legs.  But I liked my feet and kept them pedicured and the like.  When I started gaining the weight back and then got to my new high before being banded, my feet were once again little sausage feet.  I couldn't fit into any shoes.  I think I wore one pair of shoes all winter!!!  I am just taking out the summer shoes and they are finally fitting again. 

We definitely DO lose weight in our feet.  One of the biggest perks to me!!! LOL

Yes I know the feeling, I fell up the steps the other day at home because my shoes were to big. I wasn't hurt, just a little bruise on my knee. I noticed about a month or 2 ago that my shoes were to big so I purchased no ones and now they are to big.

Oh, yes!  It's funny that you should post this today because I just cleaned out my closet and am taking 20 pair of shoes, (most barely worn), to the consignment store tomorrow.  I have a lot of shoes because I've worked for a major department store for over 20 years, and since I lost my weight I lost a 1/2 size and went from a medium width to a narrow!   I have blisters from sliding around in too big shoes and I can't pad them anymore!  Time to let someone else enjoy my passion for beautiful shoes and I'll take the money and buy more! 

It's expensive to have to give up an entire wardrobe, but oh, so fun!

Yes, its really expensive right now!  I've been selling some stuff on ebay to try & help a bit.  I hope you get a good discount from your shoe shop, lol

Thanks to everyone else who's kindly replied, I appreciate it!
