Freezing feet and hands



Recommended Posts

Hi All, now that I am close to or at goal I find that as winter approaches I am absolutely freezing! Fingers and feet turn white when they get cold. Anyone else have this issue? This happened in the past when I was thin but it seems absurd, it's not like I had that much fat on my extremities! It's not even November and I'm in fleece pjs, fleece sheets, 2 blankets, and a quilt, and wearing socks to bed! Husband is not thrilled;) . It doesn't help that we have an old drafty farmhouse that we keep at 62 so we don't spend every penny on heating oil! Sigh. Annie

I live in Texas and I keep a sweater from October till April. I have been cold every since I lost my weight, But it helps with the electric bill in the summer!

Oh I am very intolerable to the cold....need a electric blanket when I'm watching TV....

Guess that's a trade off after loosing all the insulating Walrus Blubber....but I rather bee skinny and cold than fat and warm....

A hot water bottle in bed at night works wonders. And it actually stays hot all night and is much more economical than an electric blanket. You're all going to laugh, but jammies with feet- yes they make them for grown ups.

Being chilled is one of the only things I miss my old fat insulation for. I have heating pads in the front room and in bed and electric blanket also.

Rather have those than sweat like the old days❤

im at the end of menopause and suddenly have gone from years of being too warm and hot flashing to being much cooler and wearing a stocking cap most of the time and thick socks and a sweater ! I also wear a pretty scarf every day, this keeps my body temp more regular.A co worker told me that when she lost a large amount of weight she went from hot to cold too, but eventually her body adjusted back to normal.

I hope you're right about going back to being warm. I sit in the house with a scarf wrapped around my neck. My feet are always cold with fur slippers on.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
