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!

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.

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.

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

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.

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
