Yes, I'm 14 days post op. Thanks guys. I really felt like I was dying in the night from the cold! It was crazy! Had them 2 nights in a row, really badly, but last night, nothing. I've been active and walking a lot, but the last 2 days I was a mess because of the night sweats. I'm going to get out today and walk and run some errands, hoping that will keep me up and active. It seems there's not much you can do for the sudden cold spells except treat them when they come on, they aren't triggered by your behavior. I noticed today I lost 2 pounds, I wonder if they happen in conjunction with when the weight loss is coming on. In any case, I do feel better after seeing responses to this post , and a few others, that it's very normal. lol. Thanks again. H

I am finding myself chilled to the bone at night in bed. My body feels warm to the touch except for my extremities (hands, feet, nose, basically). It doesnt seem to come with a real fever though, my actual temperature is normal. But the cold feeling and the shivering is intense. It eventually passes, and never happens during the day. Anyone else experience this? And if so, do you have any coping strategies? I'm thinking it's a normal side effect of the body changes, but man, it's hard to deal with. Any help, or even commiserating, would be awesome... heather
