Do a searh for "cold" and you will see you're not alone. I constantly cold since surgery. I sleep with my central heat, a hoodie and socks every night! I'm not sure of the medical explanation but it's VERY COMMON . :-)

I'm freezing, too! I haven't been this cold since the 80s when I weighed 135 pounds (for 5 minutes, lol)! I think it's related to surgery, healing, and mostly weight loss...we are burning fat for fuel. Nothing scientific there, just my thoughts.

A year out and still cold all the time. My office is 70 degrees and too cold for me, but I have no control over it. I keep the house at 75 and my husband can barely stand it. I like it about 80.

Oh yeah, cold all the time since about 2 months out. I am now at 6 months out and almost reaching goal. I bought a space heater in my home office which helps me warm up in the morning hours. I m also pretty verbal to others when I get cold in order to have them help keep the environment warm (home, car, etc). I also wear gloves every where. That helps lot because it is my hands that turn to ice first. Next my feet. Layering up at home and when out really helps. Don't forget that winter coat or wear a sweater. Finally, drinking warm drinks helps. I like to drink coffee and hot apple cider to warm up. I hope some of these tips will help you.

Yes me too, it was brought to my attention just the other day. I am the one that never wears a coat during the winter months , but now I say bundled up all the time.

Yep, I'm always cold since the surgery too. My hand most of all. I've been trying to think up a way to keep my hands warmer when I'm working. Too bad I don't have some kind of heater that goes over my mouse and keyboard. :)

My husband just threatened to buy me an electric blanket to use when I am watching tv so I don't roast out the whole house. 3 weeks out and have been cold since surgery.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
