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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
