Brrrrr, I'm so cold

[bklyn girl 9]

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!

Think it comes with the territory only time I miss all the insulation!!!

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
