Who out there gets hot and cold a lot?Q



Recommended Posts

I am 66 so I am not going thru menopause but I find myself freezing a lot of the time or overly hot the other part of the time, I am on thyroid meds but my endo says all my blood work is fine. Anyone else having these problems?

I am 60 & only have the freezing part going on (none of the feeling overheated part). I was always feeling hot & uncomfortable before the surgery - now I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum....but it's worth it I can always put more clothes on!

I've been getting the freezing, I haven't experienced periods of hot and cold just mainly the cold.

The same thing is happening to me. I am 55 and post menopausal. Post surgery and abut of weight loss I now get cold very easily. Oddly, I feel like the loss of fat has released female hormone and caused me to re-experience hot flashes. Too hot, too cold. What am I, Goldilocks?

I've always run on the hot side but the last 10 years, being so over weight... I don't even own a heavy sweater or a jacket. Since losing after surgery I still get hot after doing something but I actually wore a sweater today!

For the most part I'm freezing all the time!

But I do get hot flashes if I eat to fast or to much!

Weird huh?

After a lifetime of being warm/hot, it is one heck of a change to think about bringing along a jacket or a sweater because I might feel cold. That extra fat certainly was an excellent insulator, but I'll take wearing a sweater instead of inches of fat!! As for the hot flashes, I have had a couple in the middle of the night... woke up feeling really hot.

Congratulations to all of us who are now feeling cold instead of hot! We worked for it... and now (at 8 months after surgery), I have learned that I must continue to work every day. This is not EASY!!

I break out in a sweat for a few minutes. Never had that before surgery except when I was exercising! Get cool but I can deal with that.

Thanks for someone else with the hot/cold thing ! My feet get so cold I've used the hair dryer to warm up.

I get sweaty and throw the covers off and then I'm cold... Repeat

After I eat,I heat up for a while thankfully

8 1/2 years post op. Done w/ menopause 2 years ago or so. Just my issue after losing weight. Glad I'm not the only one????

I have been having temperature issues since sleeve surgery on May 14th. Yesterday came home from work and got my heating pad out because I felt such a hard chill and nothing warmed me up, not hot liquids, more clothes, nothing. I decided to take my temp and discovered I had a fever (99.8). Called my surgeon and she thinks I might have a little bug or something but didn't relate to the surgery. It nevere occurred to me that I might be sick, just put it off to aftermath of the sleeve.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
