is anyone else freezing in the pre-op stage?

yes it's freezing and I am in New England, but for the past 5 or so days I can not get warm, I am loosing weight (down 12.8lbs) so I am wondering if this is a side effect?

    Get used to it... I have been freezing for months, even in summer!

    Being cold is definitely a side effect of losing weight. All that insulating fat is disappearing so it is harder to get warm and stay warm. Layer up with the clothes.

    Good luck.

    I have literally gone from being hot all the time to freezing all the time. My thermostat is so confused.

    I have a thyroid condition so I stay cold all the time. That's always a good thing to get checked out.
