I was ALWAYS cold.. but now I'm ALWAYS frozen! I can't get warm no matter what I do, what I wear, or how many blankets and layers I have on... it's so frigid here on the east coast, last night, with heavy socks, slippers, a blanket and a heating pad on my feet they were so cold they hurt! My husband has taken to calling me his little ice cube... LOL

I am still hot! I'm a lil over two wks out 23 lbs down..... when will my cooling begin...can't wait!

It seems that you are the exception to the rule. It would be cool to know why some are so cold and some are not. I am sitting at work with a heating pad on my lap. Guess you can tell which group I'm in. LOL!

I read online that Ghrelin has some temperature regulating properties, so that might be it. Most of it is gone with the sleeve surgery.

Also, if you are dehydrated, you can feel pretty cold

I was always warm before surgery, but did notice for the first month or two after surgery that I was chilly fairly often. Now I'm back to being hot all the time. <_<

I was always FREEZING prior to surgery and was fully expecting it to be worse afterwards. I am happy to say, that so far (knock on wood) I don't notice any difference and I feel like I may even be a bit more normal now temperature wise. I was just sleeved 1/18, so we will see. Fingers crossed!!

I'm 32.5 lbs down and I still sweat like crazy. I getting my Iron regulated because it was low but I was a sweater before and still am. I can't wait for it to stop!!!! - it kind of gets embarrassing when I'm in stores, teaching, in the grocery store etc.

I had surgery in Aug and I live in South Tx. It's 80 degrees here this time of year and I am STILL FREEZING. I am so cold it's painful. My legs ache and I'm just plain icy lol. Doesn't matter how many clothes I have on. And I feel bad because my daughter sweats all night so I have to make sure I don't let it get above 72-73 at night.

Surgery Date 8-02-12 weight: 330 present weight: 220

I'm in Sydney Australia and a couple of weeks ago we were sweating through a heatwave of more than 40 degrees C, which converted is "freaking hot". I was still sleeping with pjs on and a blanket. We are having torrential rain and flooding tonight and I have unpacked all my winter clothes from when I was fat. My mum thinks I'm mental.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
