Heat/ sweating soo much



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Currently being over weight I sweat like crazy. This is so uncomfortable especially in the summer. Can anyone tell me do they notice after having the Vsg surgery do they sweat as much ?

Thanks

Josie

No as a matter of fact most of us are freezing afterwards, it's awesome!!!

The ghrelin hormone in your stomach plays a small part in body temp regulation, so I've read.

May be one of the reasons...

This is the first time in oh...FOREVER that I am not sorry to see winter go! I am freaking freezing all the time. I sit with an electric throw and crawl in to a warm electric blanket.

It sure didn't see that coming! But Come on summer!

My husband laughs at me all the time now because I have always been so "hot natured" griping if anyone said they were cold.... Now I wear fleece pajamas and socks around the house complaining abou how cold it is and I have to crawl in to a warm bed with my electric blanket (which I never would have tolerated before)! He thinks it is hilarious and now I regret all those mean things I said about people freezing and how they could put on more clothes if they just would. Sometimes, I can't get enough layers to stay warm! It is rather funny!

I had to laugh a little when I read your post as I am FREEZING all the time now. I even carry a sweat shirt in the summer now for when I get chilled. I dress in layers and as soon as I get to warm I take off a layer but in an hours time I putting the layer back on.

For me it's awesome to be cold.. I was always overly hot and sweating when I gained the weight, even in winter :( after the surgery I went and bought the most luxurious cashmere cardigan. I love that thing it feels so nice to wear layers and feel good. just yesterday I was running around all day and at the end of the day I was still wearing it! on a semi warm California day!

Happy!

I try to take it as a positive - getting cold easily. It's only my hands and feet at the moment - still too much "insulation" on my stomach and thighs. I am looking forward to shivering like a Chihuahua on too much caffeine! B)

Someone I know was told by a doctor that people who lose a great deal of weight often get cold easily because all the blood vessels that used to feed their larger self are close to the surface, no longer buried in layers of fat, so our blood cools more quickly.

I used to break out in a sweat when I peeled an orange. Now I am down 110 lbs. I am below my goal weight and cold all the time

      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.

      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!!
