It's highly unlikely that you've stretched your pouch. You can get back to basics and the weight will come off again. I know because I've done it. I gained 25 pounds in 2020/2021 and just lost it. It's never too late.

I'm constantly chilled, even in Houston. I sleep with a head cap on, because my head gets cold !!!!

Hello All,
Reading this forum for a few months has taught me that everyone is a little different. But today, I am looking for some 'misery loves company' friends. If you are able, riddle me this.
Why are there times you get so cold? I do not understand.
As for context, I am a few weeks post surgery. Things are going well...just wondering who gave me a membership into this Polar Bear Club. I wasn't looking to join a club where members are forced to freeze nearly to death.
Through my years, I have always been a warm person...temperature wise that is. To say it another way, I have always been a "scrub a little too hard and I can sweat in the shower" kind of person. But, as Bob Dylan once said, "The times, they are a changin." Let me explain.
There are times when I am on the couch. I am dressed in warm clothes and thick, comfy socks. I am under at least two or three hefty blankets. There is a fire in the fireplace. A large labrador retriever that goes by the name of Bella is curled up beside me sharing her warmth. Yet, I still shiver to my bones. What the hell is going on here?
As odd as this may sound, I have actually worn a winter hat inside of my own house because I cannot get warm. But a few hours will pass and, suddenly, I feel like I am back to normal.
During these 'winter wonderlands,' my beautiful wife is wearing shorts, no socks and a flimsy t-shirt. As she lifts her hair in an attempt to cool herself, she proclaims the problem is with me. So I have a few questions for you. Perhaps you can help me.
1) Have you experienced this same issue?
2) Does it go away? If so, when?
3) Does anyone really know what causes it?
4) Why am I not cold all the time?
Thanks for all of your sharing. Hopefully your wisdom will provide me with some new knowledge.
I wish each of you the most wonderful, healthy and fulfilling days ahead.
Best,
AnotherGuy

It's post-op 6 days : I'm doing GREAT ! Have had hardly NO pain at all ! ! ! ! Intestines make a lot of noise, rumbling and growling and such. No appetite. No nausea, I do have gas. I was taking care of like royalty at the hospital. Surgery weight was 370 weight this morning 356.8
Dr. Du was amazing !

I was so happy when my 21 day stall was over. I dropped 7 lbs too. One week later, another stall.... But at least I know there will be gold at the end of the rainbow... I hope this one is shorter though...

I love the joy when a three week stall ends... Weight just falls off.... 7 lbs in two days....
I kept losing and gaining the same 1 or 2 lbs for three weeks.... SUCKS !!

I’m at a stall, been 3 weeks, it’s so frustrating, hopefully i get a 7lb loss soon 😜

I started my journey Nov. 15 2020 : Preop-diet was for 2-weeks : My surgery date was Dec. 15, 2020.
So basically six months ago I started my journey- And it's been 5 Months from the actual surgery date .
As of May 15 2021, I've lost 105lbs !! YES... I only dreamed of losing this much weight...
I'm not done by far, but what a first six months........

My sister has always been overweight...I have been overweight for the last 15 years (or so). She is on a diet (Dr. Livinggood) and told me that she had told a friend NOT to get the surgery because it would change her relationship with food FOREVER. I told her "That's kind of the point...even with the program YOU are on". But I will say this, I do not regret it at all! (I DO however, regret the Reeses' Peanut Butter Egg that I just ate...but only to the extent I would have regretted it BEFORE surgery! LOL) I echo those that said wait until you are sure...but I wish I had thought about doing this 10 years ago!

I'm tall, like you. For me, it was that each year (or so) I would gain 20 pounds, and I would say/think, "Well if I could just lose 20 pounds, I would be back where I was last year, and that wasn't so bad." Then I realized that if I said/thought that next year, I would be over 300 pounds. Real eye opener...so I decided to do it, even though it was not covered by my insurance. Best decision of my life!
