I was warned that I would feel more cold after surgery with all the weight loss, so I expected to be cold this winter (hate Iowa winters to begin with)! Was wondering if I will always feel this cold? Or does your body eventually re-adjust and regulate better?

I have been cold since my surgery august 27... And I live in Florida !! I just hate being cold!!! Have been wearing cuddle duds everyday under my clothes! Let me know if you hear anything about it going away! Alyce

Low carbs will cause this. Carbohydrates fuel and heat the body. I have never been cold natured. I freeze since my surgery.

Cold doesn't even begin to describe how I feel!! Living in Iowa you would think I would be used to it! It has gotten worse and nothing seems to warm me up! I have the best boyfriend that has bought me a heated mattress pad do at least I can sleep at night!

@@BeccafromIowa ....where at in Iowa? We are in NW corner near Sioux Falls. It was 20 degrees today...I can't imagine when we get to the subzero temps that always come!

I have always been hot natured- I am freezing now as well. I thought I was going crazy. Maybe when we get to our goal weight it regulates. I sleep with a heating pad.

I am in AZ and I was freezing here today. I was always warm, and I think post op earlier this year I was having hot flashes. LOL

I'm laughing because Iive in canada. Where it is truly cold. I am 11 months post op gastric bypass and am still always cold. I've heard it takes up to 2 years for your body's internal thermostat to readjust to your new lower weight.

11 weeks post op and always freezing!!! I too am wondering if it's always going to be like this.

7 months and still cold. Office buildings are the worst. But in my own house I'm fine. I mean it's December and I'm wearing a short sleeve t-shirt. But I'm at home. If I were in an office building, I'd be sitting in a cubicle freezing.

Two weeks out and freezing. I live in So. Cal whee it's not that cold. I walk around inside and out with layers on.

Going to the store is torture, the cold from the frozen food aisle chases me!

Yup, I'm cold too. Funny thing is that before my surgery I was always hot and my wife was always cold. Now it's the reverse and we have totally flipped how we set the thermostat.. We are both in our 50s. Should I be worried about her feeling warm????!!!

Two years out, and still cold. Not quite as bad as when I was losing. Even in the middle of summer when everyone else is sweating and miserable, I'm not! I love that part. I don't love freezing in Michigan winters, though! I have a lot of warm clothes and blankets. This type of cold is almost painful, and I don't expect it to ever go away totally.

Cold here in mid-Atlantic state!

I am only a week out, but I am constantly hot. Hotter then even before the surgery. I'm in MD and it's not hot here.

I'm four months post-op. Like others here, I was freezing up until the last month. And now in the last month I'm not.

I am eating more now (between 800 and 1000 calories/day) at the urging of my bariatric P.A. who says it's time to get my calories up. I'm also doing an aquarobics class three times a week, which kicks my ass (you wouldn't think it would, but it does).

I don't know what else I could credit the body temp change to. Any insights, fellow WLSers?
