Had surgery January 13, and am 1 week out and I'm always cold! Lost 13 lbs so far down from 200 to 187 and I'm cold and a little weak. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago and I used to have hot flashes all the time, not anymore. Maybe lacking Vitamins?

Get used to it. It it common with WLS apparently. I am freezing ALL the time! Even the hot Texas summer was not an issue. I wear long underwear now all the time and sit under an electric throw all the time.

If this is the worst thing, I'll take it! I'm almost 11 months out and don't see things changing anytime soon!

I had my hysterectomy 4 yrs ago and was never cold til my bypass on the 9th,. I love being able to snuggle under my blanket!

BTW awesome weight loss.. I'm down 10lbs in 11 days

Oh forgot to tell you. I read a yr ago that when a person loses weight, their liver releases stored estrogen, that might be why

Yes agree with ajustice, it definitely comes with the territory. I used to always run warm and now I'm always cold! My husband jokes that it's because I "lost my padding"! For Christmas he bought me an electric blanket with dual controls - my side is on high every night, his side isn 't even plugged in! LOL

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
