I used to be warm all the time, but now that I have lost 80 pounds, I find that I am always cold, even though it may be 70 degrees outside! I get chilled easily. I am sure it is due to the weight loss, but I wondered if anyone else has the same symptoms!

I only stayed cold the first 2 months and then it kind of stabilized. I no longer freeze all the time.

I've read articles suggesting that grehlin not only drives appetite, but that it also helps to regulate body temperature....so maybe that's part of it too?

It is very common. Not to worry, it gets better with time. As your weight levels out you will be warmer again.

I like how you worded that, "as your weight levels out." I feel like most of my weight now is in my lower abdomen, thighs, and ankles, even though I have lost inches in the first two. He tells me (in so many words) that gravity pulls your weight down. Hoping that more walking will help stabilize the "weight distribution!" :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
