Usually i am "the hot one" and i do not mean looks -wise!! After my surgery 12/10/13, I have been FREEZING! I am typing this w/ gloves on! My surgeon said this was normal. Anyone else? Also, after many nights of going to bed w/ flannels, a hat and gloves, six blankets ( such a gorgeous site when you add in my C-Pap), my sister told me about something that has made me soooo happy! I am now the proud owner of a heated mattress pad! OMGAWD - what a difference! Run to the store now and get one if you too are cold!

I was also sleeved on 12/10 and am freezing too. I have the heat cranked up and wear layers of wool and a hat, and I'm still cold. I was always the one wearing shorts in the winter ...

I am always cold too! I had surgery on 12/9 and I kept thinking I was having fever at first b/c I am like you guys, I used to break out a sweat just sitting there! I can't decide if I like being cold better or not???

Not me. It was in the 30s last night and I slept with the window open a bit, a sleeveless nightgown, and one blanket.

Its the lack of carbs.

I have a heated bed blanket. I sit on it, I sleep on it.

I would live in it if I could! :blink:

I live up in Minnesota, so I should be cold this time of year but it's been extreme since losing started.

I had to go out and buy long underware and wool socks.

I now just dress every morning with my cuddle dub long underware on under my jeans, wool socks on, a tshirt, sweatshirt over tshirt and then heavy wool jacket.

I'm still usually cold even then.

Evenings when the family is eating something I can't have, I escape to a hot bath. That's the only thing that warms me up all the way.

I'm cold all the time to. I have lost about 140 pounds since I started my weight loss journey. 88 since surgery. I am so skinny now compaired to when I started and I cant believe how good I feel but I really am cold most of the time. I hope it gets better but maybe I will more heat tolerant this summer right?

Happy new year everyone, be safe and happy.

I am just over 1 1/2 years out and I am always freezing. I laugh and say I lost all of my insulation. I usually start the day wearing layers of clothing and run a space heater at my feet. It's really hard for me to keep warm. I live in Texas where it's usually hot. I used to sleep with a small fan on me. Not anymore the more blankets I have the better.

My friend who had gastric bypass years ago complains she's always cold. Make that 2 of us now. As a vet tech working in sub zero temps, long underwear and layers is nothing new for me at work. But now at home I'm Always covered with a blanket on the couch and I've got something even better than a heated mattress pad.... A waterbed turned up to 95 with two blankets and a 100 degree English Pointer on each side!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
