My nose is always cold.



Recommended Posts

Well on March 18th I started my diet two weeks before the surgery. On April 1st I had my surgery. I have lost 65 pounds in 50 days. It has been a painful healing but I'm pulling through. I have been hitting the cardio at the gym drinking 3-5 Protein Shakes a day along with a bowel of lean Soups and taking many Vitamins and minerals like I have alway been for decades.......... I have an issue, my nose has always been cold since I had my surgery. I've never had my nose cold all the time like this. Is this something I should be aware of?

Might have something to do with the lack of carbs. Carbs make you feel warmer.

Try putting on another layer of clothing on your trunk and see if that helps. When extremities are cold, it is usually about core body temperature. Unless, of course, you have any circulation issues - like Rainaulds (sp/ph) disease...

If your hands start going inexplicably white and sore, then perhaps get it checked.

If you're not 'suffering' through it, I wouldn't worry too much. You're so soon out, your body is doing all sorts of weird things at this stage. I know I was considerably colder. My feet suffered more than anything though.

So, it was wrapping up in lots of technical cold-weather gear and a few cups of tea to raise my temperature.

Congrats on your success, btw. That's immense! May I ask what your starting weight and BMI were?

All the best :)

I was health nut and personal trainer through out my twenties .... Not to toot my own horn hear but I ended up going from 240lb at the age of 30yrs to 430lb at the age of 35yrs within 5 years. ..... Once I saw that 430 lb mark I said its time to force Portion Control through a kick start , having bariatric sleeve surgury. I'm weighing in at 365lb now.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
