I am anemic but it seems like after I've was sleeved I'm much more colder. Is this normal?

There are moments that I am freezing and then I am burning up. I think it's my hormones!

Wow. I'm never hot just always cold.

I am still freezing almost 2 years out! Very normal. I will take it any day over the sweating that I used to do!!

Yes, My Hands, Nose,and Toes are COLD all the TIME, and Always feel Chilled to the Bone...

Lol me too. I hate sweat

Yes, it seems that I never get warm enough. If I turn my heat up any higher...well let's just say I'm using wisdom. LOL

I forgot...I'm anemic as well, but Surgeon doesn't want me to take any iron right now,

Can be a symptom of losing too much lean muscle mass. Newly post op can be after effects of anesthesia (up to about 8 weeks).

I'm always freezing too! Learned to keep a jacket in my car!

Try layering up, even when inside. Wear gloves when outside. These things will help you not be so cold during the first 6-12 months post op. Eventually, your body will catch up with the rapid weight loss and you will not be as cold. Until then, more hot apple cider and coffee!

Me either. I go for my two week follow up and hopefully he'll let me start back up.

I get chilled often also, I'm almost 5 months out now, and still get chilled to the bone, especially in the early evenings. Lucky for me, I live in AZ, so as it warms up all I'll have to do is go stand in the sun for a bit, but this winter, I've just been taking A LOT of long hot showers I figure water is cheaper than gas!

You are lucky, I am in South Dakota and we are getting Lots of Snow Right NOW...I am under an Electric Blancket and on a heating pad Righ NOW...and STILL FREEZING!

I had my 6 month checkup and blood work last week. I told my doctor about how cold my hands, feet, and nipples (hurting) were. He had a thyroid check done as well. It turns out that I am anemic again and my thyroid is fine. He disclosed to me that he is cold a lot, too. He has lost about 45 lbs and maintains a consistant weight now through diet and exercise, but he is still cold. He always wears a long sleeve shirt under his scrubs.

Same here - long sleeved shirt, hoodie, and two blankets sitting here on the couch!!
