Ok, in fairness summer is back with a vengeance in my neck of the woods just when it looked like things were cooling off, we have had a series of 70-80 degree days. I have been afflicted with this new disgusting disorder, any time I move, or even stand, I sweat buckets. Its really a problem, it is dripping off of my neck, it is pouring down my forehead. I am not jogging I am walking and have deliberately started walking at a painfully slow moseying pace. I am not moving while standing just standing and talking. I have even been sweating in the shower! What the hell is wrong with me? My husband keeps saying he thinks it will be good for weight loss, Im thinking, do you have any idea how much effort it took to put that Water inside of me that you are so carelessly allowing to pour out in bucketfuls if I do anything other than lay down and breathe shallowly? Just wondering if anyone else is having this new found problem and most importantly when it can be expected to stop.

Your not on thyroid medicine are you? Too much can cause this along with a fast pulse.

You are talking about hyperhidrosis, I think...do you blush also?

No thyroid meds no blushing, just melting. Dont want to blame everything on a lack of a stomach but it has only been happening since the surgery.

This was happening to me too. It's getting better. One thing my internist told me was that the body's way of fighting inflammation is with heat. Seriously I thought I was going through menopause. I'm at 4 weeks today and it's better but not 100 percent gone . I spend a lot of time under the ceiling fan. How far out are you?

I hate to tell you, but for the first two weeks I'd wake up at night in a flop sweat. It has gotten much better, so don't despair!

Seems as Im hot all the time, not too sweaty, however. And I do have hypothryoidism. Where do u live that its only 70-80 in late Aug? I live in So Or where its not too terribly hot but the average is between 95 and 105 the whole month of Aug. There's no way I would make it in Az!!!

Not sure what it is. My husband sweats alot (when Im freezing in the bowling alley, he's dripping with sweat. U should see him at the gym. He must lose about 3 lbs in sweat.) Hypothryroidism is sneaky tho. Its sposed to make u cold all the time (hyper is what makes u hot) but Im always hot.

Good luck 2 u.

This happened to me between weeks 4 and 7 - permanent brow sweat and icky moistness everywhere else. One time, after walking to my office, a big drop of sweat rolled down the back of one leg... ewww. I live in a hot, humid area but c'mon. It's improved greatly at 9 weeks out.

I haven't been sleeved yet but looking forward to not sweating so much! It's embarrassing when a simple walk makes you spill buckets:(

I can sweat in a cold shower! I hope having the sleeve changes this???

I'm sorry to hear that. I had been a sweat hog prior to surgery. Now I'm cold ALL the time. I went from always hot to always cold. I barely sweat anymore and I LOVE IT!!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
