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 but I dont think its the band I think it s the weight I have lost. Fat is insulation.

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

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.

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 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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
