I am 3 weeks out and am absolutely freezing! Tell me it gets better!

Move to Florida.... LOL... just kidding.... I have lost 40 pounds and I feel cooler than when I had that "insulation". I think your body will adjust... just give it some time. By the way I live in Florida and it dose get cold here.

I am 3 weeks out and am absolutely freezing! Tell me it gets better!

I hope for YOU it gets better!

But for me, I hope it lasts FOREVER! I'll take the reprieve from hot flash misery and astronomical electricity bills!

Me too Dana! I was always the one fanning myself and sweating on cool days, I LOVE being cold now!

Glad you posted this... Sitting here under blankets and sweaters with a hot pack across my incisions! Hot pack (like the rice or buckwheat filled kind) is helping me a lot.

Oh that's a good idea!, I have the space heater going!

I was cold before and now I'm even colder. Never thought I could get colder than freezing, but I am.

Thats funny. I was never cold before the surgery. I was always hot. Turning down the heat and wearing shorts and t-shirt inside in the winter. After surgery, I am always freezing. My hands and feet are like ice. I wonder if it is because we are not eating any calories?

I was a 'go get the mail in January in a t-shirt' guy, and I am now very cold more or less all the time. Now, it's winter, so duh, I guess, but I really never was cold before.

It's thought to be the "ghrelin" by some, not only does it affect hunger but also has something to do with regulating body temp...

Well I'm cold alot my feet and hands . 2 feet of smow in ct today so inside for me

I think it has to do with our metabolism slowing down. I have been very cold this winter (sleeved 12/17). I have been layering like crazy- long sleeves under short sleeves, and I have NEVER in my life done that! LOL

Being cold is normal. My feet and hands are always cold as ice and it does deter me from doing things at times.... but I do prefer to be cold over being hot like before....I had a pretty comfortable summer too..... It does get better I heard about 2 years post op..... Hang in there everyone...

I get cold alot now. On the positive side, I can stand the Houston heat, hot tubs, saunas, and hot yoga!

Wish I could tell you it get better. Taking Iron will help with being cold. I have started to just dress in many layers.

I'm so jealous! It was 75 degrees here today, which just pisses me off

Hello, it is WINTER!!!!
