    I get cold too I think less fat is a cause but I believe I read somewhere that low carbs in the diet can do this too zx

  • At least we won't be hot in the scorching Summer!!!!!

Yes-yes-yes!! I was always the hot one and now I can't get warm enough. I am driving my husband crazy. I have the car hot and he has no jacket on. I am in Boston, you still need to wear one. I wear a jacket (sometimes a fur), a scarf, gloves and still freeze. When I sleep, I sweat. I don't get it. My room is 64 with a window opened all winter even with blizzards

Maybe we are losing our fat insulation.

Keep warm.

I am cool with loosing the insulation, but its almost unbearable. but I guess it could be worse!

I am cold a lot now, too. I have a fleece blanket that I use as a cocoon at night and sleep with my comforter on top of that. I am not tolerating cold well! It looks like next week's temps will be great here in NC!

Same here...always chilly now. This has been such a long cold winter here in NH. I am ready for 90+ temps.

We're not fueling the furnace like we once used to...

I also was so cold and I'm in FL!!! I got chewable iron and have been taking it for 3 weeks, I am still cold but much better than I was. :)

I'm cold all of the time too. I'm in South Florida, so I can't go much further south and still stay in the US.

I can see me now, a turtleneck in June....bahahaha

I freeze now as well. Especially at night and mostly my feet. I have an electric blanket, but it takes a long time to get warm. I call my feet my popsi-toes lol

After my wife had the surgery she said she was always cold, even more than her "normal" level of being cold. I thought she was flippin crazy!

I have always been a very warm natured person. Wearing shorts all the time if it was 40 degrees or higher out. Now that I have had the surgery, it's ridiculous. If the temp in the house gets below 74 degrees I can't take it. The other day I was at work (non-climate controlled hangar) it was like 60 degrees outside and in the low 70's in. My nose felt like it was going to fall off!! My nose, fingers, and feet all suffer now.

I do attribute it to the low/no carb diet and lower calorie intake. I remember eating me of those huge meals before having the surgery, as soon as I started digestion I felt like I was a furnace! Sometimes I even got a sweat out of it. Now I compensate by drinking hot tea, broth, or coffee.

Good socks can be your best friend... Lol

I am Always Cold!! I Thought it was Just Me!!! Its Just Awful!!!

I am chilly alot now too. I even turn the heat on in the car when it's cool outside, something I would have never done before surgery. Feels good. Can't wait until the summer time! Loving the new me.

Have a great day!
