3 days Post-Op & Cold

I have always been a very warm guy, but since surgery I get cold so easily. I know I am not anemic or running a fever. Just curious if any other guys experienced this?

    Since my band and now revision I am always cold. My husband is dying of heat and I have a sweatshirt on, lol! This seems to be a normal thing with bariatric patients.

Seems like fat burns at a lower temp than the junk we had been eating before. :) For about the first year the only place I was warm was the gym or in my bed with footsie pajamas and 3 blankets! But all so worth it,, hang in there it gets better!

I'm 8 weeks out and down almost 40 pounds and I am also freezing all the time! I was always hot before. Today my son had a soccer game and it was 50 degrees out and I felt like it was 20 below!

I experience the freezing also. I think it's normal for us especially since we shed so much weight quickly In the beginning.

After 15 months, I'm STILL cold. Never knew what cold was before.

I'm always cold. Wearing polar fleece mat work when it's 90 degrees outside.

Our metabolism has slowed down...

I thought I was the only one!!! Lol !! IM SOOOO COLD althe time my huby says I'm headed towards menapouse.

This is my favorite thread ever. Can't wait to be cool all the time!!

Lady's I feel bad for all of you. I am a 30 year old 330 pound guy and last night had to sleep with three extra blankets and the fire place going all night. Oh and the heat was set at 71...LOL!

Good luck staying warm!

I'm 5 months out and freezing all the time. All the time. Prior to surgery i was hot all the time. Very strange change of pace for me. But I've been told it's very normal.
