Yup-- I was a 12W in shoes. I can wear an 11 or 12 now, but mostly 11's.

My shoe size are about the same however I have noticed my shoes pre-op are all stretched out and needed to be replaced.  For example my walking work out shoes were worn about 2 months pre-op and then I put them back on after a 60lb loss and I kept getting blisters.  I went to my local running shoe store and was able to put on the same exact shoe and it was a much closer fit.  So same shoe and size but a totally better fit.

About midway through my losing phase, I tried wearing shoes that I hadn't worn since before my surgery. They fit terribly and I could barely walk in them. My gait had changed drastically, and my feet were so differently shaped that I had to trash the shoes. They weren't even fit to be donated. 

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

First place I noticed my weight loss was in my feet.  I went from a size 8 to a size 7.

My shoes which were tight are comfortable now.  Those that were a little loose are too big.  So not a size change but definitely a difference.  BUT what's killing me are the black leather riding boots I bought last year before surgery and now they are TOO WIDE for my calves!  I hadn't bought clothes for a while knowing that I was doing the surgery, but figured I could still wear the boots after losing weight - Apparently NOT!

Nope. Even after losing 200 pounds, my feet are still a size 10

It's funny, I'm 54 pounds down, and my shoes are already too wide! Such a strange realization. I had to adjust the laces on my runners,and a pair of slip ins are trashed because my feet keep sliding around!

Many people do lose shoe sizes... I did not. I was so hoping I would- as I am a size 12...lost 200+ pounds and still a size 12. That being said my feet are much narrower and my instep isn't nearly as high, so I have a much easier time finding shoes. Pretty much had to get rid of all my pre-surgery shoes.
