Ok has anyone else noticed one down side to weight loss lol

Being cold!!

Feeling the cold!

Cold cold cold!

My god its awful!

Normally even this time of year in the uk I still have my fan on till I go to sleep sometimes even while sleeping and just sleep with a sheet and a blanket over me and all year round even if it is snowing outside my bedroom window is wide open, well not any more!

Blimey!

No fan on not yet got the quilt out but extra fleecy blankets are on me and fleece or flannel night clothes because i am cold allllllllll the time the other night in bed I was half asleep and sorta stirred because I was shivering.

Who does that your shiver so bad it wakes you up!

Right now I have thick socks on my old lady fleece sheepskin slippers on leggings fleece pj pants over them a pj top and 2 cardigans to keep me warm lol

heating bill will be crazyyyyyyy

I look forward to not sweating in winter. I actually like bundling up but I am a Mass girl born and raised. Living in the south has been quite the adjustment. Lol.

I am always hot! So now when I say I am cold my hubby looks at me like I am crazy! I would still rather be cold than always sweating. I mopped my house yesterday and did not sweat-- awesome!!

Exactly. I'm only 33 so I know it wasn't menopause or anything...so I refer to them as fat flashes.

Sassypants do I know the feeling! My family was always freezing because I always had the air conditioner on about 65 even in the winter sometimes, i would not even turn the heat on because it would make me sick!

Boy o boy how the tables have turned, the heat is on and I am sleeping in fleece pjs with socks and an electric blanket, I honestly don't know how I am going to make it thru the winter, and I'm only in Mississippi!

I have lost 88 lbs so far with 69 more to go till I get to my goal weight and I am miserable with the cold, but I can always put on enough to get warm, when I was 334 lbs before I couldn't take off enough to get cool, thank goodness!

This is actually one of the things I'm most excited about. It was 40 degrees last night, I slept with my window open, with 2 sheets. I was burning up. I don't know what it's like to be cold anymore! But my surgery will probably be in November or December, maybe I'll feel cold in February :)

Just about 2 years out and I'm still cold. The upside is it's usually easier to get warm then it is to cool off, you can always ADD ;ayers but you can only take so much off - especially in public :)

I also just don't get very hot in the summer either. This past summer I was out riding my bike all through the horrible 100+ degree weather we had here, didn't really faze me at all.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
