    I'm 6 months out and am cold all the time (I used to be hot all the time), As for tired. I still have tired days sometimes. It's a hugh change on our bodies, it takes a toll. But other days I feel awesome. Just seem to tire easily sometimes still...

    I LOVE Palmer's cocoa butter lotion. They have one for stretch marks that I used to help with loose skin during weight loss. This is a high quality, reasonably priced lotion. You can get it a most drug/dept. stores. I got mine a family dollar..It comes in a pump that is easy to apply, (also have a tub available)...Try it you'll love it...

    Sorry if that sounded rude, after I read it I thought it sounded rude. But you know what I mean... I wondered the same things postop until I started Real Food...I'm almost 6 months out and have alot of restriction with solids, even liquids still....
  18. slojo
    When you start solids you'll know what restriction is...

    That's great! You will just get healthier everyday!!! YAY!

    I also read/heard somewhere, that the hunger-hormone (grehlin-not sure if spelled correctly) that is released in the stomache has been mostly removed during the surgery and that it plays a part in temperature regulation. Don't know if it's true, or how it works, just remember hearing this somewhere... I'm freezing right now!!!

    Tomorrow is the day that I fall in love with myself!

    slojo commented on BamaGirl26's blog entry in BamaGirl26's Blog

    My husband has said the VERY same thing a few times, I just make sure I reassure him and remind him that I not only did this for myself, but also for him and the rest of the family so that I can be healthy, energetic and much better able to give of myself to them, if I feel good about myself...
