Question:
Does your shoe size go down whith major weight loss?
I know this sounds like a silly question, but I am curious. — Rita M. (posted on April 7, 2003)

Not a silly question! Mine have gone from an 11W-12W to a 10 1/2M in most
shoes. I'm very happy about this because now I can buy cuter shoes! :-) I
would have never imagined my feet would get smaller along with the rest of
me. :-)

Mine did. When I lost 140 on Phen Fen I went from a 10w to a 9 1/2m. When I
regained it I went back to the 10. I have lost 102 so far now and the 10's
are starting to get loose.

It's a great question- b/c it is the last place you'd ever expect to lose
weight! I was a 9 and am now an 8. I can finally get back into those cute
strappy shoes I wore in high school. :-) goodluck to you!

I'm 5'1", and was wearing 9-1/2W. I dropped to 7-1/2 when it was done
(which is still big feet for my ht! LOL!) and stayed there for about 6
years. Until about a year ago and now have dropped again. What's up with
THAT?

Totally - I was 290 now 147. I went from 9 1/2 to size 8. Not only that my
feet look better in shoes. I used to hate they way they looked in tennis
shoes but now they are cute. I can't stop buying, athletic shoes!! :-)

I have worn a size 10 since the 7th grade. I didn't think I would go down
other than the wide width...however, I sure have. I have gone from a 10
WIDE to a 9 - 9 1/2 regular.
Down 138 pounds in 11 months.

Great Question!! I think this is one of the things that shocked me the
most about my weight loss. I have gone from an 8 Wide to a regular 6.5.
It's so weird! Not that I'm complaining...my feet look darn cute in sandals
now!! :-)

I wasnt even 6 weeks out when I went to the mall with my Mom and sister. I
picked out a great pair of shoes and was SHOCKED that they were too big. I
didnt see any weight loss(maybe 20 pounds at that time) and didnt feel any
different but the more shoes I tried on, the more it hit me, I had dropped
a whole size! I went from an 11 to a 10. I've bought just as many new
shoes as clothes. Boy does my credit card company LOVE me. Sidney Open
RNY 10-23-02 down 80+

Just like everything else, everyone's experience with this miraculous
surgery is different. I started at a size 10, and well, 63 pounds down,
I'm still a 10. I'm more willing to squeeze into a 9.5 now....but that's a
different story. :)

10-10 1/2 W down to 7 1/2-8. Who would have thought... and my feet were
the first to go. LOL

I went from an 81/2 or 9 to a 61/2 or 7 which was my pre fat shoe size. It
also happened within 3 months.

Yep! Before I could even tell I was losing weight in my body, my shoes
started falling off my feet. I was stepping right out of them within a
month after surgery! So when you're saving up for that new wardrobe, don't
forget about the shoes. :-)
