shoes

I've noticed people talking about changing shoe sizes with weight loss...I have a bad foot from a car accident/surgery and can't buy my favorite cheap shoes lol. Since I have to buy expensive shoes for the support I can't afford to buy some now and then multiple more pairs throughout the weight loss. Is that how it is? Does your shoe size change alot? Is there a point when it stabilizes? I know everyone is different but some generalalities would help
thanks

there might be hope for me! I wear 12 im mens! My ex who is 6'4" use to steel my shoes all the time because they were all mens shoes! try to talk about stress, looking for prom shoes was a nightmare! i had to get the biggest they had in an open back and let some of my "ski" hang off the back!

god, let my feet shrink!

It would be nice if my size 10 feet would at least get one size smaller and not sure how long out from surgery if it will happen. I am 12 weeks out from my surgery and have lost 35 pounds so far.

Dont buy cute shoes until you are done. I lost about 1 size, but I used to wear big, flat ugly men's looking shoes. Now I love cute high heels and sandals. I couldn't walk in them before anyway, but I would have been afraid to strike oil in the heels I wear now. Save it as a reward for reaching goal. Good luck.

I mourn the loss of my cute shoes. I went from a 8 1/2 to 7. This summer I have just alternated between tennies and sandals. But plenty of shoe shopping is in my future this fall!

I am less than 5 months out and I was pleasantly surprised that my feet already are smaller. I had 3 pairs of new shoes I bought and they were too small (narrow). I can wear them now! My feet aren't as wide as they were. That was a NICE surprise. I had them for about 5 years and I'm glad I held onto them now. It is so nice when smaller things fit us :-)))))

    Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
