Is it just me...I'm 3 weeks post-op?

No - lots of us go through this... i have been told after a year it shouldn't be as bad... but i am only 4 1/2 months out so once i get to a year i will let you know... I had my surgery in the WINTER... was the coldest winter EVER... i walked around with 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of sweat pants & 3 shirts... with a blanket wrapped around me (IN MY HOUSE) LOL just know you are not alone!! thankfully summer is around the corner for you

I start my 8th week tomorrow and I'm always freezing. I didn't even own a coat prior to wls and now I don't go anywhere without one of my husbands coats lol.

I am 10 weeks out and have been freezing. Now that the weather is nicer, I'm starting to shed the hoodies! I have been super tired. I have been taking a nap every day! Hope this changes soon!

Could it be that I'm not eating enough to fuel my body? My son thinks so...

Lol my daughter says it's cause all the meat is falling off my bones. I'm in California and even on our 80 degree days I've been in a hoodie for most of the day. Hope this part goes away.

Hehe..I'm 7 months out on Tuesday and still going threw it. I don't mind it tho, gives me plenty of excuses to take a long hot bath..without my kids bugging me!

I don't think so. If I remember right, its a side effect to losing weight and possibly ketosis. I may be wrong about the ketosis thing tho, so...

I thought it was just me being Anemic. I find I have to have a blanket at all times. And now I'm having abnormal periods. I'm 12 weeks post op.

I was only eating about 500-600 calories a day. My NUT and PT made me stop the gym. They said I had to be eating 800-1000 before I could go back. I just started back last week and I am not as tired and not as cold.

Thanks everyone...I love having a family of friends to turn to...I just turn my electric blanket back up!!!

I'm five weeks post-op and have issues with my hands being cold a lot. I've always been on the warm side, but lately I have been feeling a bit colder than usual. I find that the more I move about and get the blood pumping, the warmer I stay. I've had several people who have gone through the surgery tell me that feeling cold is very common.

I am 6 weeks tomorrow and the bouts of freezing wax and wane. I'm cold when I'm losing quickly. I'm eating 600-800 calories a day. But I also was freezing when I was on Jenny Craig eating 1200 a day. Anytime I am losing, I'm cold.
