Does your shoe size change?

Did you have to buy smaller shoes after surgery?

Yes! Don't buy new shoes for awhile. I went from a 9.5 to a size 7! Any shoes Ali bought between that time I had to give away cause they didn't fit anymore. I had to replace all my cute shoes.

I hope this is true for me! I went up to a size 10 after having kids. I would love to have smaller feet!

I had to replace SOME of my shoes but not all on them -- just the ones that were stretched out in width (loafers, pumps, etc.) but not others (athletic shoes, sandals, etc.) because my actual size didn't change (I still wear an 8.5) but now I am a solid Medium width whereas before I either had to find a loose Medium, buy a wide, or buy a half size up to get the extra width.

It really depends on where you carry your weight.  I didn't have much fat on my feet, so despite losing 190 pounds, only the overall width of my foot changed.  Other people have a lot of fat in their feet and have to replace all of their shoes.

Yes, I have gone for a wide 9 to a normal 7.5 sometimes 8.

I am 6 weeks out today and the first week out my sandals were slipping off, my feet were no longer swollen yay!! Looking forward to shoes that fit and hey, maybe even nice shoes with a little heel!!

Yes! I have lost 1.5 sizes so far. I have always had large feet, but with each pregnancy, and gaining and keeping the weight on, I was a 13, now I fit nicely in 11.5, and I think I will be back to a 10-10.5 before it is all said and done!

Yes, I lost one shoe size.  I'm hoping to lose some more weight after I had my baby, so I might lose another shoe size.

This is great news to look forward to. I'm sick of having to look specifically for wide shoes!

Yes I did and I don't know what size I wear now exactly...Before my surgery I bought a boys size 5, or sometimes a ladies size 7 wide, and now I am lucky to fit into my old shoes...I take socks and roll them up in the toes, and sometimes wear two pairs of socks....the shoes that I can find right now are a child size shoe, and they look like something one would wear in grade school, of course!.  I am looking for a resource for "grown up looking" shoes in very small, sometimes wide sizes! Anybody know of such a place?
