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!

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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
