Hi are you still on pain meds? I believe they can cause you to feel warm. I know I was on a generic form of a blood thinner. I was cold all the time. I am off them now and I am still cooler then I have ever been. I never thought I would say I am cold. Things will get better as you go off the post surgery medicines. If it stays a problem make sure you tell your medical doctor. Wish you luck on your journey.

I am 9 days post op (not on any pain meds) and I'm freezing cold all the time. I figure the fact that by this point I was a couple weeks on clear liquids only probably contributed as my body didn't have protein to use for energy. I'm hoping now that I am on full liquids starting today and can have protein shakes that will maybe take me from freezing all the time to just cold lol

I had the same experience, and had to have a heating pad for my feet in bed for a week or two. I am doing better now, 3 weeks out things feel more normal.
