Did your calves get smaller as you lost weight?

Kind of a silly question...but wondering.

I've lost 65+ lbs since my surgery 3 months ago...and have gone down a clothing size...but still can't wear high boots. Someone told me that she'd heard you never really lose in your calves...wondering if anyone has any experience. Not an earth shattering concern - but curious.

Mine are defiantly smaller. My feet didn't change that much.

I still wear the same shoe size but my calves are definitely smaller.

I have lost an inch off each already but I think a lot of it is muscle wasting.
