Anyone Out There Cold After Getting Sleeved?



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved on Monday. Ever since I find myself being kinda cold all the time. Is this normal? I'm usually sweating. Lol

Me too. Ill sit under a blanket with the heater on while hubby is saying its not cold. It can be residual effects of the anesthetic and less movement :)

It has to do with a low calorie intake. You burn calories to keep yourself warm. Less calories, low body temperature.

I worry about this. I am getting sleeved in January and I am cold all the time now. In preparation I have ordered a heated throw that was on sale at Kohl's black Friday sale. I hope I am not freezing all the time after surgery.

So funny you should mention this - I thought I was losing my mind. I'm freezing all the time. Which is so weird because I keep my house really cool - I watch over the thermostat (Living in NH you have to or else you will have to sell your sole or lung in order to buy heating fuel)! So yes, I am cold all the time. I wonder why?

I can't wait! I sweat like a pig, typical cliche' sweaty fat pig person. I'm always hot. My dream is to wear one of these big bulky cable knit sweaters next fall!

I wish! I am 2 1/2 months out and still hot! I am at that age.....

Looking forward to being cool. I am not as sweaty as I used to be but still warm most of the time.

Yes, this is very common after surgery! I am cold all the time too. I was cold before surgery, but this is even more so. I don't sweat much anymore either, even when I exercise.

I have started taking long baths every day, because it is the one time I feel warm!

You're not crazy!

I've never been cold in my life- I'm the person that ran the air conditioner year round. 65 degrees and the temp didn't move EVER.

Now, the heat is on at 75 degrees (minimum) AND I go to bed with a heating pad! When I'm outside, I wear a coat. I now use the heater in my Jeep and I don't complain about having a top sheet, a blanket AND a duvet on our bed. My very thin husband is happier than ever!

I'm still cold!

This is one of the side effects my case worker talked to me about. Apparently it's completely normal :)

I am so glad that I am not the only one. I am 4 weeks post op and at work I am freezing, wrapped in two blankets and even turning up the heat at home! (I like the house at 67 -honestly, now I am cranking it to 70)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
