Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? I am absolutely freezing at all times since my surgery. My hands are like ice and I am chilled to the bone all the time! I'm assuming it has something to do with rapid weight loss but wondered if I was the only one?

I wear a winter scarf and sweatshirt at work and I am still cold. I was actually was tested to see if I was anemic last time I saw my Doctor and when he gave me the results he said "yup, just as I thought (at which point I thought the worst) no anemia". "You're cold because well its cold and you've lost well over 250lbs of insulation. I recommend you put more layers on".

Thanks Doc...any chance you could give me a prescription to go to St Thomas for a couple of months out of the year?

I just ordered some hothands mittens with overnight delivery. I literally can't function because my right hand feels like I'm walking around holding a bag of ice. next week I may order the heated socks for my frozen feet. and this is all inside! the heating pad and I have a very close relationship. I've had this problem for years, but it's extremely bad this year. (one year out from surgery)

i thought i was alone, i used to love the cold, my house was always considered freezing by everyone else, this is the first winter i have used the heater this much!!! my hands never used to get cold, and my feet stay frozen. nice to know im not alone.

Have never liked the cold and yes now it worse. Also I have hypothyroidism and that makes it worse. Ugh.

My kids keep teasing me about being anemic. I keep telling them I'm not anemic I'm just freezing cold thank you lol.
