March 9, 201412 yr Yeah I am getting a lot of use out of my bought on sale knitwear!I still layer too so its funny but constantly freezing!
March 9, 201412 yr I'm cold all the time as well. I used to sweat like mad over the summer - I'm really interested to see how I tolerate the heat now.
March 9, 201412 yr Pre-surgery, the only part of me that ever got cold were my arms and hands. Now I have to wear theramal underwear to keep warm. :-) But I wouldn't go back to the old me for nuthin!
March 9, 201412 yr I am cold most of the time...sweatshirts and big socks are wardrobe staples for me. Pre-surgery, I was always hot.
March 9, 201412 yr Presurgery I was always hit and would sweat at work if I got busy... Embarrassing. Now I'm always freezing! It's Skinny bitch problems, lol
March 9, 201412 yr This is something I hope happens to me. It's so hot in Henderson NV. (Las Vegas) I hate summers here.
March 9, 201412 yr I'm really looking forward to cheaper electric bills this summer. It's so much easier to warm up than it is to cool off!
March 9, 201412 yr I was wondering what the summer will be like if I will be hot or if the heat will feel good!
March 9, 201412 yr After surgery I am always cold too... Dr says my iron is low and suggests I take an iron supplement but of course I don't. I'd rather be cold than constipated I know TMI but true lol.
March 16, 201412 yr I'm in Vegas too and since surgery I'm constantly cold too. Definitely agree and hope that it's still the case when the spring and summer heat shows up
March 17, 201412 yr Cold all the time...all the time. Socks to bed, hoodie in the house and long sleeve shirts to sleep in. Light bill is outrageous because I have to crank up the heat. Pretty sad that I want a hot flash.
March 18, 201412 yr I called myself a "walking furnace" before the surgery, always roasting hot in the summer, and always warm in the winter.I'm a month post-op tomorrow, and I cannot BELIEVE how often my fingers and nose are freezing cold and I always seem to need a "blankie" when I'm home on the couch watching TV or something. It's amazing and funny to me how that works.Also, in slightly related news, I have found through my workouts that I barely sweat now, whereas before I'd break a sweat just walking across a room. I wonder if the struggle to get as much Fluid in as possible has to do with this, or if it's another component of our altered internal thermostats?Interesting indeed.
March 18, 201412 yr It seems to be two things 1 our basal metabolic rate has dropped because of our calorie restriction 2 we have a lot less insulation Good news - trying to warm up burns calories!
Any other post ops find they cannot warm up? Skinny folk must be cold!
