You're describing my toes! Mine are extremely long...and to add insult to injury,the second toe is the longest! 

Im only 4 weeks post op and already all my sandals are too wide, which amazed me. I must have been carrying around some serious water weight!

My feet are shrinking too!! YAY!! I can't wait till I can wear all the girly heels and shoes when I hit goal. Being heavy I have to stick to sneakers, flats, and flip flops but not for loooong.

I'm still PreOp but have lost 15 pounds and I swear to you...every single pound has been in my feet! It makes no sense to me because I don't have chubby feet...or I didn't think I did LOL.  I went from a 9.5 to a comfortable 8 sometimes a 7.5.

 

I agree with you...it's the oddest thing ever. LOL

Well mine shrank too. mainly width. But I also got a half inch taller ! I think my weight just squished me down. Loved that.   diane S

I wish for this!  But alas I have only lost width.  And I wore a 12 wide now I can wear a 12 medium, it was almost impossible to find shoes  now it's just massively hard.  i would seriously enjoy my feet shrinking to a size 10 so I could buy shoes in a store!

 

are your feet getting small enough you can't find shoes small enough?  I can't imagine. Lol it's amazing how different we all are!

My first sizing at the shoe store was apparently done by someone whose attention is about as good as mine.. The size now is 6 1/2 med, but still, that's a whole size different! It might yet happen, but who can predict this stuff? My boidy is losing in lopsided fashion, and it's even more disturbing!

Size 6 1/2 med is much easier to find than 7 1/2 WW, for sure. It's been impossible to find that size anywhere iin person and when I bought them online, there was a high rate of return shipping and / or exchange.

 

Exciting and random aside: bought a dress for California trip and didn't have to pay the YourHugeClothesTakeMoreMaterialToWork tax(ordered a 1x! Price goes up in tens starting 2x.

Hope you're well!
