Has anyone who has had a decent amount of weight loss had their feet shrink?? I'm just wondering b/c a friend of mine had the Gastric Bypass last year and she lost over 100 lbs and now her feet are almost two sizes smaller...as a girl with rather large feet *pretty tall* i'm kind of hoping for the same results!!

:laugh:

    Yep--it does happen. When I lost a large amount of weight (many years ago and it's crept back on--that's why I'm here!) I lost a whole size and I am short--only 5'1"

    I suppose it could happen. I don't know about my feet but my fingers have lost weight! I've had to resize my ring once and now I'm to the point of needing it resized once again. I feel like if fingers can lose weight then toes probably can too. I suppose ankles could also.

    There are no weird questions on MFP.

    I've seen a few that would make me beg to differ :) This one, however, not on the weird side! My friend has this issue, whenever she gains/loses weight, it always shows in her feet first!

    :( I hope mine doesn't stay the same...they def got bigger when I gained- so i'm hoping for them to get smaller when I lose.

    Yep! I went from an 8.5W/9 down to a regular 8 or 8.5 (depending on the shoe). Very weird... and kind of costly. I knew I would need to replace my clothes, not my shoes! :laugh:

    Yes, you gained weight in your feet and you will lose weight in your feet. As well as in your hands. Hands likely faster, gravity being what it is, and you may not go all the way back to the size you started at.
