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?

Yes, totally normal. Your body is in a huge calorie deficit, with surgery recovery and eating restrictions. You body prioritizes energy, mainly going to your brain and heart. Keeping your peripherals warm is low on the priority list. Just think of a time when you've been super fatigued, it's hard to get warm, right?

Omg I was about to post this question I'm a month out and been cold since week 2. I don't know which is worse when I was always hot or now when I'm always freezing cold!!!

I'm looking forward to this side effect! I did buy a warming pad for my bed, though... can't sleep when I'm *too* cold, as I found out while camping one night in 13 degree weather with a very light sleeping bag. Other than that experience, I've never been *too* cold... always too hot.

I'm 2 months post op and on a full diet, yet I still get so cold. My son calls me Mr. Freeze.

It's totally normal.

Everyone comes in my house and comments on how warm it is.....I have the heat set at 69 and an electric heater/fireplace that runs all day which pushes the temp in the livingroom to about 72. I wear a sweater, pair of socks and a pair of fuzzy socks over them!....and I put a wrap around my shoulders while I work (I work from home) My hands are like ice! This is all new to me....have always been the one burning up!

I used to be hot all the time! Now I am cold. Part of it is I am very anemic so keep those lab appts! I think the other is just a lack of calories. My body is really changing in every way.
