Changes In Body Temperature... Normal?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on May 29th and i keep having hot flashes and the get really cold. Im not running fever- Im on an antibiotic to prevent infection. My guess would be just a reaction to anesthesia and all of the trauma by body went through. Thoughts?

I didn't have hot flashes, but I've always been cold, both pre and post-op. It's June 1 in South Florida, which means 90 degree days. I have on long pants, socks, two t-shirts and a light sweater to sit by my computer with the windows open. Yeah, I'm colder now than pre-op, I think. :)

I don't know if I'd call it hot flashes, but I definantly have been hot, cold, hot, cold. One minute I'm freezing, put a jacket on, then the next 10 minutes I'm sweating! Can't get regulated! I feel you on this one. I'm wondering if it has to do with not eating??

I have always been warm blooded, it was really bad after the surgery. I froze everyone out at my house and had to take 2 showers a day! It passed about 2 weeks after surgery. The more weight I lose, the colder I get! Yeah!!!

I was also sleeved on the 29th. Have been freezing. My temp has also been up a bit. Either 99 or 100..nothing I am worried about yet. Seems to be just in the evening it spikes a touch. They told me unless I was running 101 not to worry about it. I also weighed myself today. I actually weigh more than when I went in but I assume its cause of all the fluids built up from the Iv's etc. Hope thats normal.

So assuming you are not anemic, when you reduce your caloric intake your body stops using stored calories to keep you warm. It starts using those collectors to protect vital organs which is what it should have been doing all along. So it is a good sign for us to be cold. If we are healthy in all other ways. Going from hot to cold though. That I don't know :-)

no- not anemic. And I guess its not really hot flashes per se- just more hot one minute then cold the next. The only time it really bothers me is when Im sleeping and wake up in a sweat pool. ICK.

I can't believe I did a random google search for this and found this site. I had my sleeve done Sept. 19. I'm freezing one minute, and sweating the next. At least I know it's not just me.

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

      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! 😞
