Am I the only one looking forward to that? ;-) I am always hot. I wouldn't mind putting on a sweater once in awhile if I get cold. There is only so much you can take off when you get hot! Hah

I had surgery in January so it was cold anyway...but I was freezing right after surgery even before I lost alot of my weight.....not so cold now but it's July in upstate Ny....I think I probably do stay cooler now

After losing 65 lbs, I have noticed that my hands get cold very easily. Overall, I am now comfortable with the thermostat set 2 degrees higher during the Texas summer heat.

Funny this post is up since the hospital I have been internally freezing! My poor husband had to take me home from hospital in 90 defree weather with the heat blasting in the car. Btw it was a 2 hour drive, It doesnt last long maybe an hour when it hits but its crazy. Last night I went to bed with a hoodie jacket over my pyjamas ATTRACTIVE lol

I was cold for 3 months post op. It's not a problem now at nearly 5 months but at first I was cold all the time.

I am 2 weeks post op and just today started freezing...it is 78 degrees outside, turned off my ac, have winter pjs on, and a robe and socks, and in bed under a thick comforter and I am shivering!!! Just turned on a heating pad to help warn me up! I usually run hot and have my ac set at around 70!! This is crazy!!

You arnt running a fever are you??

No, I thought about that and took it last night perfectly normal, and so am I today....weird

Im a year out and am always cold. I didn't really start having an issue til i was probably about 6 mos out. I usually always have to have a sweatshirt with me. For example at work my coworkers will complain that its hot in the office and ill have my little heater blowing on me. It sucks but its a little inconvenience for losing 90 lbs.

Several years out and always freezing! At work, they have the air running while I have a portable heater under my desk going..

Yes I was always cold for several weeks after the surgery. Even now, I've lost about 93lbs in 4 monts, I don't sweat as easily as I did before. I barley sweat as a matter of fact. I have basically removed a 93lbs jacket, so yes you will be cold until your body adjusts.

Thank you all for your responses and reassurance! Congrats on your weight losses too! Amazing!!

I told my boyfriend about this.. ha ha.. he was like great it's going to be like the surface of the sun in the house this winter isn't it? baahhaaa.. because I tend to be cold now.. and I haven't had my surgery yet.. so we can only imagine how bad it's going to be once I have the procedure.. lol.. thanks for the heads up everyone.. :D
