It's common when your losing weight! I live in Minnesota, and the below freezing temps have arrived. But I like having layers on..hence the reason I live up here.

I did read few days ago that your body balances out eventually, but not for several months.

Thank you! I'm hoping this is common and I'm not getting sick or anything... someone get me an electric blanket! Thanks!

I was freezing my first week post op. My feet were cold even with socks on. I thought i was catching a cold.

Freezing for 9 days! So different from my usual sweat covered body. In Wyoming and 20 degrees in the mornings. Soooooo cold!

I have been told it is normal after surgery as your body diverts energy to healing. I had lap band surgery in 2010 and didn't even out my body temperature for about a year. Am 2 1/2 weeks out with sleeve revision and have moments of feeling frozen :) It does get better, especially once you can move and gain energy after healing.

I'm 2 months out and still cold!!!! I can't stand it!!!

It's all about burning off the body fat instead of burning up the carbs the carbs you eat. I froze after my lap band in 2007 and here I am again freezing my stuff off! Totally normal in the way the body processes energy and your metabolism. Welcome to the club.

well I am 11 month POST op and STILL COLD!!!!!!

I was always cold pre-op, it's much worse now, but I'll live

I am still preop , but have lost over 40 pounds on the liquid diet and I am always cold already. It is such a change for me I used to be the 'Shorts year round' guy. I live in Ohio we are already hitting low 30s at night. Big adjustments coming I guess

Freezing!!!!

Yup freezing over here too! I was so cold that I had to research it a little. I've read a couple of things...yup we lost that insulation we are used to and the removal of the grehlin.

I noticed it takes me Alot more work to sweat as well.

I'm glad it isn't just me! I have always been hot natured, and I'm freezing cold all the time now. My husband has even noticed it and commented on it. He says I'm sweating him out because I keep the heat on so high! I can't help it! This is such a strange feeling for me.
