November 1, 201312 yr I've read that most people that are losing weight tend to stay cold. Their bodies aren't working as hard digesting food, which makes the body colder. And yes, my feet are back to ice cold now all the time. I take a steamy shower before bed to warm up a bit. But I do like the cold, as I live in the upper Midwest.
November 1, 201312 yr I started using my heating pad. I rotate it on different parts of my body... when one part warms up, I move it to the next frozen area.
November 1, 201312 yr I used to be so warm. Too warm, to be honest. My wife loved it, though. But, post-sleeve, I was so cold all the time. Even in the summer. I would say a little after a year, maybe 15 months post-op, this started to get better. Now, I am not as warm as I used to be, but I am not as cold as I was post-op either. A very happy middle ground I would like to think most "normal" people are at.
November 1, 201312 yr My first winter after being sleeved I froze to death. If this is your first post sleeve winter....get ready for a long frosty one. Coming up on my second winter and I'm hoping I've acclimated somewhat. Since it's still 80 here....too early to tell.
November 1, 201312 yr I am constantly cold and my hubs laughs at me because I will be sitting at my computer and have my hoodie on and covering my head..with really thick socks on....
November 1, 201312 yr I was sleeved a year ago but missed the entire winter because of my 5 month hospital stay....I am sooooo cold all the time now and winter is coming upon us here in Canada....I am scared to death I will never be warm again!!!!!
November 2, 201312 yr I was always freezing Pre sleeve, and have noticed its still the same. Only now, it takes a LOT more to warm me up. :/ Not looking forward to winter ::shiver:: A hot steamy shower sounds delightful about now.
November 2, 201312 yr Buy an electric blanket. I have a small one for my chair and another one on the bed. Problem is, I also have to share it with the cats!
November 4, 201312 yr Mine too!!! Its insane how cold my nose gets. The rest of md gets quite cold also
I take steamy hot baths & showers just to feel better.. Does it get better?
