Okay, so I'm 8 months out from surgery and I've lost roughly 95 pounds. I noticed somewhere around the 50 pound weight loss mark that I started to have this chill that I couldn't shake, even in the summer time. Now, that it's getting colder outside, and I've lost more weight I'm freezing all the time! Like literally freezing. My nose, hands and ears are always cold to the touch. My body is cold, and I always have goose bumps. My nose is running all the time, like it's snowing outside. And this is in my office with a space heater on; plus I have on long pants, a long sleeve t and a sweater. It's only 68 degrees outside. How am I supposed to live like this for the rest of my life?

My surgeon told me it's normal to be cold for the first year or two after you lose a lot of weight because you've lost the body's insulation. Well, when does it get used to the way things are now? Do skinny people stay cold? I'm not hardly skinny but good lord this is ridiculous. I'm miserable!

It's hilarious how everyone is complaining here about skinny issues now instead of fat issues. I can't wait to be cold or have my butt hurt in a chair.

whew!! thought I was going through MANapause!!

I feel cold all the time too. I'd rather be cold and wearing cute layers, than sweating like a pig because I'm so damn hot. I used to hate the summer and hot weather because of my fat. I would sweat excessively, and I felt stinky and gross (on top of being fat). Now I look forward to next summer- I hope I'll be near or past goal by then :smile1:

Being cold is uncomfortable, though. I suppose it's a trade-off. I haven't had the butt-bone issue yet, but I'm sure it will come .
