So I had my surgery done on 8/20 and have discovered since the surgery that I get cold really easily. It feels like I am cold all the time. We've checked the thermostat in the house and it's not any different than before the surgery - plus my hubbie feels fine. Did anyone else experience this?

I was sleeved 8/29 and feel the same way. I've read that it's common. It sure beats being hot and sweaty!

I don't feel colder, but my actual body temp is typically down 1-3 degrees from before, usually 95-97F.

Some people may actually feel colder, I brought it up to the nurse because I saw it on the thermometer. She said it's common, and some people will return to "normal" after awhile, others won't.

Unfortunately I'm not sweating any less during exercise, but I definitely don't sweat as much as I did before in general.

Feeling cold is really common. First I was cold from the anesthesia, then I was cold because the surgery does something to your internal thermostat, and now I'm cold because I lost all the fat that was my insulation.

Cold is the new normal and I ask people for sweaters at Christmastime and birthdays.

I was sleeved in dec didn't warm up until last week..just kidding I haven't warmed up yet, but I am loosing weight and hey at least I'm not hot n sweaty all the time!!

Just completed the change....so cold is pleasant!!! One of the many benefits of wls.

oh PLEASE let me be cold!!!!! I am always the hottest person!!! (haha) I suffered all summer in the texas heat without ac in my van, cold sounds really good!!!!!!!!!

I have notice that too. I used to love sleeping with the fan on. Actually I felt like I always needed it now slmetimes I actually shut it off because I'm too cold and this only happens since I've been sleeved. I was sleeved on 8/1

I was sleeved July 10th and I'm feeling the same way. I'm cold all the time and can't seem to warm up. I guess I won't warm up until the winter when the heat is turned on:)

This is normal. Ghrelin is somehow connected to body temp regulation. I was advised after about 18 months I will likely be back to a more normal temp.

Sleeved aug 28th 2012 and am experiencing the same thing!

Don't forget, fat is an insulator. You are losing your insulation and temps are dropping, so you will feel it more.

I'm thinking I won't be running around in shorts & t-shirts in February next year.

I have a couple of friends that are between 9 and 11 months out and they both told me that they stay cold. I have always kept my air at home between 76-78. 78 during the day and 76-77 when getting dressed and putting on make up. I am always warmer then...maybe from drying my hair but now I find 78 kinda cool and comfortable when getting done up for the day. Saves my elec bill and I hate being sweaty. Win win
