Omg! I freeZing i have the heat a heater sweater and i feel like a Popsicle! I am 10 days pos op is this normal?

Yep, you are normal. I was cold as hell after surgery. I stayed wrapped up in my bathrobe and a comforter. Recovering from surgery, detoxing from the anesthesia and blood thinners, and not being able to eat is a big one two punch to the body. Every resource is going to healing.

I am a year post-op...a year ago I was cold all the time. I wish I could say a year later things have changed - not so much. I am writing this with wool socks, Under Armour Storm (fleece lined) pants, sweatshirt and blanket.

But I will say...I'll take the cold over the 75 pounds I've lost!

I get the ABSOLUTE fun of being freezing cold and then BOOM a hot flash and I am sweating.

Being a woman going through "the change" after having WLS sure makes life interesting.

I also get the joy of "menopause brain".

Can't wait until this phase of my life is over.

Freezing, then hot, then back to freezing. OY!

Blessings,

Kathleen

Were you anemic prior to surgery?

So glad to have found this topic! I thought I was getting sick or something. The thermostat says 72, my skin says "Antarctica", lol.

...yes, I went from Hot-Mama to Frosty-Mama! I now sleep w/ 2 blankets, Love flannel PJs and Wool socks!

I have had to wear fleece leggings under my pants daily since surgery and still want a blanket when I am sitting around the house . I will take cold over fat but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Check your local walmart for fleece leggings. Ours has had them for a while and they are $9 a pair and by far the best money I have spent in a long time.

I'm looking forward to being cold and being able to wear cute clothes to keep me warm!

No anemia problems pre or post and down 110 pounds and freezing!

It took me two years after I lost 100 pounds for my body temp to reach equilibrium. After that I still got cold but not the bone chilling cold I experienced during my rapid weight loss.
