Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 12/26/12 and have also had a hard time regulating my temperature. I will be really cold and then really hot.... My husband told me that the surgery put me into early menopause. I am glad to know it is a normal response to the surgery.

I am cold alot also and was sleeved on Nov 30th. I thought I read something about if you were not getting enough Protein in that you may be more sensitive to cold. I will do a little more research though to very that.

Let me know if anyone else has heard that.

Stay Warm

Totally! I'm finding this winter to be difficult, and I'm almost angry at the cold. (?!) I was sleeved April 26, 2012. Started at 215.6 lbs... Hadn't been under 190 for many years... Now I'm 140 lbs. I have to put on multiple layers to feel comfortable, and I live in CA! The coldest it's been is 35 degrees, usually it's 45 but that still sucks!!

Still waiting...Surgery postponed!! Can't seem to get a reply from the insurance company ohh my gosh! I was supposed to be sleeved on Tuesday, January 15th and here I still sit on Thursday, January 17th. Since then I thought all was going to be good. During this journey I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, anxiety, arthritis, hiatal hernia and chronic gastritis besides high blood pressure and a BMI of 42... I thought, all the making of a quick approval but apparently not. I've been told by the doctor again maybe next week.. Monday they say by Thursday and now yesterday they said maybe next week ughh. Aetna Ins.

Until then I am still on my Protein Shakes doctor said that I could have a little bit of vegetables green... I was so frustrated that by the time I got off work at 5 I went to my mother's and I ate a small salad with lettuce tomatoes onions and garlic sprinkled with a vinegarette... And 1 cup of fat free chicken broth.. And 2 cup reg chicken broth . Yes I ate all of that Yesterday only.... After drinking 3 of my Protein Shake earlier that day ... Today back to Protein shake and Water and Jello. Uggh... I started all liquid diet January 2nd 2013 at 221down and since a week ago til..today...208lbs. I seem to have been at a standstill for the past week anyway. Uggh! NJ HERE.

Being anemic all my life I have always been cold. Since surgery it got worse and I too am wearing socks, jackets, sweaters, gloves, blankets.... You get the picture? Every now and then a hotflash surfaces, then I feel like I will internally combust. LOL. God help us women.

Before surgery, I would sweat and my hair would be soaking wet if I had anything joy to drink. Now I'm cold and have to wear docks to bed and no sweating with hot coffee.< /p>

My boss was sleeved back in Nov 11 and that's the first thing she warned me about when I had the surgery. Sure enough I cannot keep my feet warm!

haha...yeah, get used to it! I had my surgery 3 years ago and I am always cold.

I wear a lot of clothes and sweaters.

I have a boot dryer I put my slippers on so when I put them on in the evening they are toasty.

I have a rice bag I heat in the microwave to warm my feet when I go to bed.

Yup...just part of the deal.

Just remember...cold hands (and feet) warm heart. :)

I'm from nor cal too - on the peninsula in the bay area. You? Who was your surgeon? I had Dr Cirangle in SF

I haven't tracked Protein in some time, but I believe I get 90-100+. (shake plus yogurt gets me to 60, and I usually have 26 w beef Jerky, so I'm sure whatever else I eat gets me in that range too.) It used to take pretty darn cold weather to bother me, but now it takes a cool breeze and I shiver slightly. Ugh

I had dr Cirangle too, I am from Stockton. When was your surgery? Did you reach the 60 pounds in 90 days? I am really trying to get there. I was sleeved on 12/26

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
