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! I am freezing all the time. I wear a sweatshirt over my pj's in bed.

Freezing all the time. I am thinking about getting a little space heater soon for under my home office desk. Temperature is setback 72 F during the day, but it does not keep me warmed very well. What does help is to wear a hoodie sweatshirt all the time inside. LOL!

Yes, I get so cold at times, the only thing that warms me up is a hot shower!

I'm constantly cold now. I've had my little space heater on at night to stay warm. It's even forced my cold loving hubby to sleep in the spare room! And my temp stays lower as well. It hovers around 97.5 ish. This is such a crazy journey!

Dressing in layers really helps.

OMG!!! I thought it was only me! I was sleeved on the 14th and I am ALWAYS freezing. I sleep with my robe, socks and heater on. Previously I was always HOT. Glad to see I'm not going crazy lol

So timely. I was sleeved in July and just thought the A/C was changed. My sister was here to take of me and I didn't want to change it so she wouldn't be too hot. Then, I thought it was because the temps were getting cooler outside. Yesterday I work I was freezing and I even had an extra sweater on. I thought I was getting sick. So glad I'm normal--not a word that can usually be used with me.

I have learned so much from this site.

I didn't get cold until after I'd lost about 80 pounds. Since then I've been freezing ALL the time. I wear nothing but sweaters, and sleep in polar fleece Jammie's under two fleece blankets. And to think...I'm. considering moving back to Alaska!!! LOL

I'm feeling the same way, I'm always cold and shivering. When I was heavier I was always hit and sweating lol. I want to say it's a good thing, but I don't like to be cold lol.

Yup, I think most of us went from being hot all the time to being cold all the time. Time to layer up!

i bought a lasko ceramic heater and so glad i did....im freezing now as i writr this and am so thankful for my heater...is a great investment.

This has been one of the BEST perks for me so far honestly!! Before I was ALWAYS hot. I would sweat in 20 degrees, my window was always slightly open. After surgery when I got home I've been slightly chilly at first. The other night while watching TV I had on a sweater, long PJ pants and fuzzy socks. My mother commented on how I had clothes on in comparison to before! I always walked around the house literally half naked lol. I haven't slept with my window closed in a LONG time and I haven't had it open this past week and have NOT woken up in a poll or sweat. My fingers toes and nose have even been ice cold at times!!' This is an AMAZING thin for me!!! I'm so happy!!

The true test will be Summer! It will be so nice to not sweat all my makeup off! I've never had a comfortable Summer!

Omg I thought it was just me, but I am constantly cold. But I love it, it's better than being hot. Thank God my car you can control your heat, my husband likes his side cold and I like it hot!!!

glad I found this...last night my feet were sooooo cold, then my body...hubby put the heaviest blanket on me and was heating towels in the microwave to put on my feet.....

If it helps others, here are some strategies that work for me:

1. Layering: I wear about 3 layers of clothes inside. Sometimes outer layer is sweat clothes and sometimes it is pullover fuzzy jacket. Outside, I almost always wear a thick coat.

2. Drinks: sugar free hot apple cider really warms me up from the core. I add some sugar free caramel.

3. Thermostat: i turned up the thermostat up to 72 from 68. I have heard that some turn it up to 78, but that is too expensive for me.

4. Gloves: drinking Water all the time makes my hands freezing. I got some fuzzy gloves with finger tip holes to allow for typing (I am a software developer by profession). When driving or outside, I have some commuter gloves. I sometimes wear these inti shops which might make people think I am visiting from Hawaii. Lol.

5. Shower: hot shower turned up all the way feels great for warming up.

6. Sauna: we have a personal sauna. 60 minutes in there raises the core temperature and burns a lot of calories.

7. Exercise: 25 minutes of cardio at a moderate rate seems to be the magic point in which my body temperature raises substantially. I usually go about 45 minutes to get a good solid work out.

This is a bit different for me because I was always hot before the surgery, even when others were cold. For example, wanting the windows open, the fan blowing, etc.

Hope this helps.
