I am freezing! I can not get warm for anything! I know it's 20 degrees out bu still! I guess this happens with with WLS people from what I have heard. Just curious if anyone else has been effected

I am placing my order for some today too. I have to do something! I hate being so cold.

My boss is tennyrs post op and is stll constantly cold! Not a good sign!

I ordered another set yesterday. I am so freaking cold with all this ice! Thank goodness for Amazon Prime!

I'm new to this site and the sleeve (post op 11/5/13)

How long does this last? I used to be able to wear short sleeves in the winter. Now I feel like I'm freezing to death!

I don't know I am 9 months out and it's as bad as ever!

Before my sleeve I was ALWAYS too warm - sometimes a little, sometimes a LOT. Not in flashes, just all the time. Starting the day after surgery, that is gone. Now I'm just fine most of the time, even with the thermostat up a couple of degrees from where I used to keep it. Weird! I mean, the change was abrupt, and happened before I'd lost any big amount of weight. I'm happy with the change, but it does feel odd.

Thanks for your help and guidance you guys

It makes sense that after you've/anyone has lost a bunch of weight - their extra layer of fat is decreasing, thus you will be colder

i see some people here that are barely post op and already cold!!! Dont' understand that, but oh well!!!

through my entire weight loss period, now being 105 lbs down/goal - i am never really cold!!!

Am i the only one???

I know i'm not suffering being as hot anymore - that is wonderful

i don't wear a flannel nightgown, but i can wear a regular long sleeve nightie

never could before cuz i would get too hot

wellllll.... that is my story and i'm stickin to it

warm thoughts to all

I'M SO COLD!!! Last winter not only was I 100+ pounds more than I am now but I was also pregnant. I carried my little heater in my belly and froze EVERYBODY out at work. I wear a coat at work because I need pockets all the time. Even with my sleeves pushed up back then I was hot. Coat or no coat, I was sweating at any given time. I don't think I used the heater at work at all last winter. I have a nurse that works with me and last winter would seriously wear 3 layers of clothes when she worked on my hall. Now I'm the one freezing. I wear at least one coat everyday and usually layers under it. I wore two pairs of pants and three tops this past weekend when I had to do some work out in my nonheated garage. I usually change clothes as soon as I get home and put on at least two shirts and fuzzy PJ pants and fuzzy house shoes. I sleep in a t-shirt and PJ pants which I have NEVER done before. I used to sleep in spaghetti strap tops or tanks and would still get hot. Even my husband lets me cuddle with him now I'm almost 9 months out and it doesn't seem to be doing anything but getting worse. I've lost so much insulation.

I have this nifty scale that tells me what my % body fat it. When I started losing weight I started at 55% body fat (171 pounds of fat). As of this morning I was around 43% body fat (and only 83 pounds of body fat). I have stinkin lost 90 pounds of FAT! Of insulation! No wonder I'm cold! I'll take being cold all time time though, I can always add more layers. When you are hot, you can only take so much off before you get arrested!!

Get the "Climate Smart" Cuddle duds. They are made from the high-tech materials that are used in running clothes. They have the wicking ability. You can wear them indoors under your clothes without getting hot. I live in Chicago -- we layer. I have Cuddle duds in every color and give them for gifts!

Cuddle Duds.

Best. Thing. Ever.

That is all.

OMG freezing!! But then I live in Canada and we're having a bit of a cold spell here. -18 Celsius w wind chill -28.

Hands and feet are never warm! But on the bright side still off of work so who cares what the weather is like outside? Haha

It is crazy, I have always been so hot natured but I am so cold all the time. I was Sleeved on 12/9 and I now always sleep in flannel PJ"s and socks! I'm sure my husband lives it to

OK, I'm of two minds here. One mind is saying "Well crap. It doesn't go away??" The other one is cheering that I have company because my husband (who is beyond supportive in any other way) thinks I'm insane. He runs the fan at night and I've added a wool blanket from Iceland to my side of the bed. Bless all of you who mentioned Cuddle Duds, getting my credit card and Amazon prime account "warmed up" right now!

And yes, I woke up cold before the real weight loss set in but that's often a side effect of anesthesia so I didn't think about it at the time.
