Cold!

[amanda11 50]

Anyone else a lot colder now after losing weight?! I use to love winter now can't stand it sleep with two blankets and heat on 72! Blare the heat in my vehicles and at work in my ambulance! My partner had to put his window down bc of how hot I made it lol feet and legs are the most cold and hands!

I too am freezing! No matter what the temp is outside. Just like you i sleep with several blankets and the heater on. My feet and hands are always cold. I think my family would like to strangle me over my new obsession with the thermostat. Prior to surgery i was always hot and had the AC on and only slept with a sheet and no blankets. I don't understand it at all but don't worry your not alone.

I am still hot most of the time but I always have been. But one thing I have noticed is that once I get cold I can't get warm no matter what I do. So strange.

I am 4 mnd postop and I am cold too!

Have to use lots of blankets in bed to be able to sleep, have been like this from day 1 after gb.

My doc said this is very common for us.

Warm hug!

It comes and goes with me. 1 day I am freezing and sitting with gloves on at my desk (my co-workers think I'm crazy) and the next day I am sucking down popsickles like its the 4th of July. Guess it takes a while for our internal thermostats to even out.

I am cold all the time. Really curious to see how summer plays out.

I really hope summer is better for me. I hate summer and sweat like a pig! I always have even when I was thinner. Thanks Dad! LOL

I'm the same way! Lol I'm hoping this summer I can be normal and not sweat like a pig.... As much maybe just like a normal hot person! Lol

Take an Iron supplement. It helps. I was wrapped up in blankets for the first week post op. adding Iron helped a lot.

Check with your doctor because your Iron might be low. I experienced the same symptoms and had some blood work done, and that's what my doc said was wrong. It helped big time!

I take Iron and do not have this problem at all
