15 days post op and freezing!



Recommended Posts

So, do you immediately feel this cold in the hospital right after surgery or does this happen after you get home? Trying to figure out what I may need at the hospital to keep warm if its immediately. Thanks

I started BEFORE I even had the surgery.. I think maybe for me it's a side effect of rapid weight loss. I lost quite a bit prior to surgery and my body isn't acclimated yet.

I have lost 26 lbs in the last 15 days. I feel great' date=' a little tired but I am freezing cold. I am taking my Vitamins and trying to meet Protein and Water requirements. Lets just say I do better with Protein than Water. Lol! Has anyone else experienced this?[/quote']

Just imagine taking a 26lb jacket off that you had been wearing a long time. I was freezing for the first two weeks.

This has been the best side effect ever! I used to get sweaty just blow drying my hair. I don't think I've sweat at all in nearly six weeks!! I need to start exercising so I can break one! :)

People look at me crazy when I walk out of the house with a hoodie on in some of the warm days we have had in Texas in the past few weeks.

I talked to my doctor about this and she said it was that our body does not have to hear up as much due to small amount if calories I'm taking in compared to before also she said my sodium intakes is way less which also heats the body. I stay cold always wearing jackets when I never wore them before

      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!!
