I'm freezing!

I'm 4 days out and can't get warm. The minute I stop moving I have to grab a blanket. Anyone else have this issue?

Yep, me too. 4 weeks out. My doc says he here's this even in summer. Rapid weight loss and low cal diet. Not sure how long this lasts.

I too was cold for days after surgery. Probably had to do with the blood thinners in my system and the healing process. I was getting blood thinner shots before and after surgery, but I didn't have to take them once I was released.

You might as well buy some long johns now. :) As you lose the weight, the skin is gonna get thinner. My feet and hands get cold very easy since the weight loss. I start wearing thermal underwear in October.

It's a small price to pay. And just think of all that extra cash, between the money you save on lower food costs and lower electric bills in the summer! :P

You'll be getting one heck of a Return on Investment from the money you spent on surgery. (Yes, I am so cheap that I calculated that the lowered food bills over 3 years would pay for my surgery.)

Thanks everyone! You all are just the bestest. I'm still doing the blood thinner shots and didn't even think about that.

As I am typing this I am wearing a shirt, zippered hood ie sweatshirt and a down vest jacket inside the house! I also have a down blanket on my lap and guess what? My feet are like ice. I can't seem to warm them... not sure what's up with that? So yea I am freezing all the time.

Lol thanks ladies! We have warm hearts. Sending you all warm thoughts!

I sleep with 2 comforters and a quilt every night. My husbands sleeps with just a sheet because the house is so warm!

10 months out and still freezing!????

I wish I would have read this yesterday...I gave up and booked a March Cruise...I told my husband I don't need drinks,

really won't eat much food...But I need Sun & Warmth!

I'm going on 2 years out and I am always freezing! I am always bundled up from Fall to Spring. At least in the summer I'm not drenched in sweat like I used to be, lol. Now I get in my hot car in the summer and I'm like, "Ahhhh" for a few seconds:) I need to move to some place warm, but my husband would roast!
