I know you'll lose dress size, ring size and whatnot.  But shoe size?  Is that even possible?

Things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them too. When a life change occurs, we have two choices in how to respond. We can despair that a change has come and assume that things will be worse, or we can look with excitement at the new possibilities that the change presents. "

Oh dear yes. Start wearing multiple pairs of socks!

I went from an 8WW or 8.5WW to a 7 or 6.5 regular. I fit comfortably in some 6W also. I hope you don't have a big shoe collection! :)

Holy moly girl!!! Your new profile pic is sooo beautiful!  I even had to show my mother your profile pics to show her how good I could look one day and she said that you are just too cute.  lol

Anyhow I hope I lose a shoe size.  I am 12W right now but have a lot to lose still before my feet get smaller I am sure.

Oh my, thanks! That's pretty funny to me but very nice to hear. Tell your mom I love her LOL

Actually I, and most other people I've seen talking about it, seem to lose from hands and feet very early in the process.

I can safely say that I have lost a shoe size.  I'm now sliding around in my size 11EEEEEs.........I think I can go to a 10EEE now and that would still be comfortable.

I went from not fitting into my women's 11's to a 9 1/2 wide...what I was before I gained the last 180.

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I  lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!

Yep it is possible!!!!

I went from a 12WW or 11WW to an 11W or 10W. I could probably even get away with wearing a 11 regular.
