Thank you for the post Becca..I thought I wasthe only one feeling this way. I put my comforter in the dryer every night before bed and have my husband tuck me in....I love it... but it looks like I will be purchasing a Heating Pad and/or Heating Blanket in the very near future! I hate being cold..

I'm am also a heated blanket devotee. I got one a month ago and I'm fairly certain it saved my marriage. ;) Once I get cold the only thing that helps me is a steaming hot bath in our deep garden tub. That's how I warm up these days. I take a hot bath almost daily just to be warm. Sad. :)

I am so glad to see I am not the only one! The only thing I am fortunate at home in is that my guy tends to be cold as well. We have flannel sheets and four very heavy, thick blankets on our bed. At work, it is a constant battle for me. I have started wearing boots to work, with very thick socks. I keep sugar free hot chocolate, because that works wonders for warming me up from the inside out. I keep a nice, thick sweater at work, and, finally, I bought a small heater on eBay that I keep discreetly hid under my desk. Hey, a girl has to do what she has to do to keep warm.

I'm ashamed to say that cold actually forced (FORCED I TELL YOU) me to buy a pair of UGGs the other day. I've always hated them, but then I put them on and their warm snuggly softness just sucked me right in. Damn them.

Love it! I might have to follow your lead... :)

I'm so cold it's not even funny, and I live in south Louisiana where "cold" means it's less than 70 degrees out. Seriously. I have never felt hands colder than mine right now! LOL I'm sitting here on the couch wearing long yoga pants, camisole, long-sleeved T-shirt, fleece hoodie, thick fluffy socks, and ugg-type slippers with fleecy lining, and I'm freezing.

But y'all, I'll TAKE IT! If I'm cold every flipping day of my life from now on, I'll just learn how to layer up--it's SO WORTH IT!

My husband also saw the commercial for the "hot booties" (the name just makes me snicker) and has threatened to get me a couple of pairs for bed... currently I wear almost as many clothes to bed as I have on now, and that's with an extra thick blanket in addition to our regular bedclothes!! Ah, well, summer's coming. On the flip side, I never sweat any more--it's pretty great not to feel all icky and sweaty.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
