I just watched a YouTube video yesterday that addressed exactly that - I think it's pretty normal.

I asked about being cold all the time at my last appointment with the surgeon, and he said it's normal. I just try to remember to carry a sweater with me, or dress in some kind of layers if at all possible. My office stays so cold, it's like working in Antarctica so I'm not the only one sitting at my desk with a sweater on even though its 80 degrees outside!

After losing a lot of weight I am cold more than I was before. I dont have that extra person to keep me warm. Before surgery I would have 3 fans going when I was sleeping. now I have one fan on low setting and that is getting to be to much and might have to start adding more blankets.

I cannot wait to have this problem! I am so tired of being hot all the time and breaking out in sweats. :)

I am constantly freezing. Such a big change from before - I was always hot and could break a sweat just walking up one flight of stairs. Now I'm usually all bundled up even at home. I guess it's because I don't have 70 pounds of insulations anymore!

That is the reason..The extra insulation is gone....i have always slept with the window open summer and winter....Last night I was so cold I got up to put a sweater on and went back to bed.....I don't mind it being this way considering how hot I was all the time when I was fluffier!

At least now my hubby and I match as far as temperature control now...It used to be a war!!!!

I thought it's because we lost our insulation......I always noticed my thinner friends/family were cold while I was always hot...

Last night I went to bed with socks on, a sweatshirt, and grabbed an extra blanket......brrrrr......

Hubby likes the house warm, really warm in the wintertime......he's always cold..........I think he's looking forward to this year when we both will want a warm home.....

I was always cold, even at 277 pounds. Now that I am 3.5 months post op and down to 216 pounds, I am constantly freezing. It is ridiculous!! Yesterday I was sitting in the living room in jeans, socks, shoes, t-shirt, and hoodie and my teeth were chattering!! My poor boyfriend has found himself sleeping next to an ice cube every night!!!

I live in Chicago and just this week it has turned cold. I am going to have to move somewhere warmer. Since my surgery 5 months ago I have been sleeping in sweat pants and a sweat shirt (under 2 blankets, a coverlet and a big comforter). Saved a ton on air conditioning; I suspect my heating bill will go into the stratosphere!

But, since I was always the hot one in any room before, being cold is okay. Besides I won't be taking off jackets when I am hot. Arms are not something I want to display yet!

Me too!! And I live way down south in Louisiana. I have been just carrying a lightweight jacket with me...and sleeping under 2 blankets (only on my side! The hubby would kill me if I put an extra blanket on his side). I used to always be cold, then started being hot alla time, now that I'm losing weight I'm cold again.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
