I have been banded 1 1/2 years and have lost around 80 pds. I am always cold since I've lost weight, does anyone else have this happen? Thanks

I used to be cold all the time and it turned out to be my Thyroid. Maybe you should get yours checked. It's very common. Good luck!

YES ME TO ! 255 = 160 ! IN A YR N A HALF ! ALWAYS COLD !

You would think that with all this weight I would also be hot, I am the opposite I am always cold. My thyroid is off and I am on a small dose of meds, I am going to get it rechecked soon to see if my numbers are normal.

I was freezing all the time for like 2.5 years.......now I'm at 3 years 3 months post op and I'd say within the last 6 months my body has started to regulate it's temp!

Just went to the dr last week, they did alot of blood work to check my thyroid because I told her I was freezing all the time. So I am just waiting for the results. Dr said it could be I have lost fat so that was some of the padding that was keeping me warm.

Tammylee, I am always freezing since I have been banded . Right now i am sitt

Sorry hit the wrong button but i have a pair of alipper socks and regular slippers on. I also have a sweater on with a long sleeves shirt! Can't even go near air conditioning

Yes - me too, but I will take cold and skinny over warm and fat anyday!

I am not cold all the time - but i used to be hot and clammy all the time. Now, some nights i just cant get warm so i have a hot, hot shower every night just before i jump into bed and take a hot pack with me when it is really cold. Thank goodness the weather is warming up.

But i have to agree with Mrspopeye,

Yes when it's cold I freeze my toes go numb and everything. I lost a lot of weight and quickly so I don't think my body knows how to regulate it. But when it's hot I get real hot to I can very rarely find a happy medium lol. But it's a small price to pay to be how I am now

I am freezing all the time now that I am down almost to goal.. Granted it better than sweating when I climbed 4 steps but it drives me nuts remembering a sweater all the time.

I'm another one freezing all the time. I'm currently sitting in my living room with my hoodie on and a blanket on my lap and still shivering.

Definitely colder since I lost weight, but also prone to power surges (hot flushes) so I never know what the next half hour will hold. I have learned the art of layering! (And my winter doesn't get anywhere near as cold as some other places.)

Yes, I have rediscovered my former self...the one who was always cold. For years she was MIA...but I'm glad she's back!

Definitely cold all the time. This is so new to me, I was always the hot sweaty one.
