Even since I had the surgery, sleeved 8/7/12, I am always cold.

It is so unlike me to be cold. I was the one who was always hot.. Felt like I was having hot flashes in the dead of winter. Would sometimes sweat from doing nothing.

I'm not complaining just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. It is easier to throw a sweater on...

It's because you're loosing all that insulation lol.

It's a good thing no matter how much it sucks at the moment

I went almost coatless in Ohio. Lost 110 pounds and moved to Florida. Now I get cold, have to put on an extra blanky.

I miss my fat overcoat like a paper cut with lemon juice. Cold I can take.

Yup I'm cold alllllll the time! I am only 40lbs down though so I haven't lost much insulation but I'm always freezing

just curious is it because you are not getting enough Iron .... Maybe u need to talk to doctor you could be anemic and may have to start iron supplement

Hope it gets better:)

Don't worry, I can tell you , yes, it's because fat is an insulator. But if you are a naturally warm person, over time you will adjust to having less insulation. It'll never be like before, but you won't feel like you are freezing all the time either.

Besides, this is a great excuse to buy a nice new coat, jacket, parka, hoodie, & a few hats too.

Ha ha ha my husband and I were just talking about this last night-I was always the one turning the heat down, he would add the extra blanket. Now our roles are reversed.......I'm just down 30 lbs. Not complaining tho!

Freezing and I'm in San Antonio...

I got cold for months after the surgery. Sometimes I am still cold but it has pretty much regulated itself out. My doctor told me, however, that many people get cold because the Grelin that was stored in the pouch part of your stomach also regulates your temperature. I believe I've seen posts about that here on the forum before. You might want to do a search and see what others have written about this.

I have always been cold and now I am freezing, but its worth it.

Hello, my name is Denise and its funny I had to stop and go get a sweater as we speak. Yes I do get cold all the time and yes it has been since the surgery which was November 6, 2012

When you start loosing weight yor vitamins & immune system gets low that's why you need to get lab test every so often & this is the reason we get cold. I was very low on vitamin D since I started taking it I feel much better & don't get sick that much as before.

2.5 weeks post-op, down 28 lbs and driving my family crazy with space heaters, double layers, the works! I used to be the sort that MIGHT wear a hoodie out in winter. Very high tolerance for cold and none for heat. Totally different already. Looking forward to hating the dog days of summer a bit less.

Even since I had the surgery' date=' sleeved 8/7/12, I am always cold.

Yes I feel cold and never did before the surgery..... Hopefully we won't be hot in the summer. LOL

I do too - I'm 7 weeks out. I take lots of long hot bubble baths!

I'm always cold now even when it's warm outside. I live in Texas but from Washington state so I'm used to the cold weather but being in Texas I'm always hot. Now I'm always cold... I wear a jacket, socks, slippers everything around the house lol.
