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.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
