I was sleeved Dec 1st and had to do 2 weeks of blood thinners. I have been cold all the time also. I have been sleeping in flannel pajamas, socks and and extra blanket and I live in AL. I think with the continue loss of body fat this is going to be a fact of life for me. Good news is Summer will probably be more bearable.

I'm so cold all the time! How long does this last?

I was doing some reading and found out that Ghrelin also affects maintenance of body temperature. That may be a factor why so many sleevers get cold, even when they are still overweight.

I've only just started experiencing this in the past few weeks. It's not as extreme as some people seem to deal with. What I've noticed mostly is that when others around me are fanning and saying it's burning up, I feel just right like it's the perfect temperature. I agree that next summer might actually be bearable here in Hotlanta. :lol:

I KNEW it wasn't just anemia/protein/loss of fat. thin people aren't as cold. Lovely...I guess just don't look like you've gained 25 by putting on a warm coat!

So if I hear you right. We will always be cold? Because doesn't our surgery cut out the part of the stomach that produces Ghrelin?

I was sleeved 8 months ago and I still experience coldness frequently. Or at least my propensity to it .. it hits hard and fast out of the blue. Even during the summer months. I think it's a part of this journey of rapid weight loss and as well, less body fat.

It's cold here in the north of England but I 've never felt the cold so much in my life! I always used to be the hot sweaty one, I'm sure that ghrelin theory is right!

I have been cold for a while anyway since I have been hypothyroid and that causes extreme coldness. At times my temp is 95.6. It had actually gotten up to 97 prior to surgery. So I guess I am just used to it and can't really notice that much difference.

Well I'm 74 lbs down and I would like to know is, where are my promised cold flashes?! Lol, I live and work in Iraq, where summertime temperatures are around 125 degrees F. I would be THRILLED to be chilly! But 74 lbs down and I notice no particular change in body temperature, when everyone else says it's stifling in the office, I think it's stifling too. Of course it is winter right now so no true test, but it's going to start warming up by end of March so we'll see.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
