I always ran cold.. Now I'm even colder and never thought I could get any colder. I'm guessing colder is better than too warm though

I'm the same. My fiance said to me, "there is less insulation."

I have always been the warm one, I kept my office really cool. I would need to meet with my employees in a separate conference room because everyone complained my office was too cold. I wore short sleeves year round. I had surgery on 12/28/12 - I can't get warm enough now. Heating throws while i watch TV and a heating blanket on my bed. In my office, I'm constantly drinking something warm - I'm freezing!!!

I'm the same way. Someone on her mentioned it was the gherlin (not sure of spelling is correct ) missing from our tummies. Could also be rapid weight loss, I'd like to know why. I'm constantly freezing!

I'm doing pretty good, feel good - and no desire to nap. I'm amazed at my energy (although my doctor told me caffeinated coffee was fine). I'm having baked fish for dinner. My only issue thus far, three days no bowel movement (but this too shall pass - no pun intended).

Ditto this. I ran warm before. Now cold all the time. Hands especially. Maybe our metabolisms shutting down. Explains my stall anyway.

Before the surgery I was ALWAYS hot. Summers were terrible. Air conditioning was my friend! But as soon as I got home from the hospital, I was FREEZING. I cranked the heat up to 75 and my husband thought I was crazy. No complaints here.

Please try doing the shakes, we need our Protein like nobody's business. It has been two years since I've had a baked potato (I couldn't eat them with the band). It may have helped me beat the potato desire. What type of shakes have you tried? Since the sleeve the whey Protein Shots have given me diarrhea; also nectar shakes seem to be too 'rich/sweet' for me. I can tolerate Atkins but 10gm of protein isn't worth my time. I like Celebrate 'cake batter' and Bariatric Advantage's 'orange cream', 'chocolate', and 'strawberry'. Have you tried those?

I had my sleeve May 2012, was cold before and am even colder now! My husband is getting sleeved next week. He runs warm and has always considered my cold nature a... weakness, like if I just would make up my mind it wouldn't bother me. I am a little evil, but I CAN NOT wait for him to find out that being cold is not something you can control!!! I want him to be cold too - which does seem a little mean spirited...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
