Yup! Same here. Cold about 90% of the time even though it was high 70's outside! Before surgery I was almost always hot.

Yep, me too. The ladies I work with call their hot flashes "personal Summers" I have decided I have "personal Winters" My hands get so cold my touch screen mouse and phone will not register that I am touching them! Brrrr! Saw the Doc for my three month follow up, all my Vitamin levels are great and I am down 60 lbs of insulation. Guess I just have to give my body time to adjust. Lol!

I experienced this for about two or three months post op. it was crazy! I would sleep in warm pj's and a hoodie and two blankets! I was still shivering. I live in a warm climate so my family thought I was nuts.

Im 5 months out now and it seems to have subsided somewhat.

I go threw it once in a while. About to be 4 months. Im trying to adjust.

I'm not ALWAYS cold but damn do I get cold way more often - often in situations where I'm the only uncomfortable one. I love it honestly, I hated always sweating when everyone else was fine and wearing jackets is comfy and cute

Personal Summers I love it. Personal Winters sounds appropriate too.

I had exactly the same experience! Must be pretty common because the PA asked me at one of my follow-up appointments if I was experiencing being cold. I didn't take the opportunity to ask her if that was common but from the responses here I'm guessing it's very common!!
