I have a heater blanket at my desk at work... Though even at my highest weight, I was always cold.

I am loving my fleece lined leggings for under my pants! I no longer go out without 2 layers of clothes on. I also keep a portable heater in the bathroom and turn it on for 15 minutes before my shower and don't turn it off until after I am dressed again.

I'm freezing all the time! I keep a heater on in my office and now my coworkers refer to my office as "the sauna", but I'm still cold!

Soccer socks. Best sock ever to wear under jeans! They come at least to your knee. I have fleece pj pants but I put a light weight pair on under them. My hands are always cold. Thank God for hoodies with pockets. I have a few times in the last month wore a tee, hoodie, wool coat, and another heavy duty coat over the wool coat. I look like the pillsbury dough boy but hey! I'm warm. I also wear 2 pair of gloves. Mind you I'm in an area where we can have subzero weather.

I take it that being cold is not uncommon. Ever since the temp dropped below 60F, I've worn at least 2 layers, if not 3. I just bought a pair of fleece tights, and am tempted to go back and get a few more pairs. They are amazing!

I'm really looking forward to warmer weather.

Quick question, how long does it take the body to adjust/normalize to the loss of insulation? A year? two? never?

We all have getting cold incommon. For me it is getting better, but I do dress differently. Hasanyne else tried the high end poly/spandex inter wear? Patigonia makes what they call R1. Its spendy but works well. Dulueth (spelling) trading makes a close seconnd which is affordable.

I have experienced this too but no one is answering why this is a symptom after surgery. I asked my surgeon and all I got was "well are you running a fever?"

Yup. That's the kind of stupid canned answers I am getting from my surgeon too. I got real pissed off this morning over his response to my suffering with real bad reflux after the surgery. And you're right, why don't skinny people complain about being cold all the time? I have been cold from the surgery since I woke up from it. The only logical explanation I can come up with is carb death. These first few weeks, months where we are mostly on liquids and not eating carbs might be why. Before the surgery I was eating carbs and that is what I was burning for fuel. And maybe that's what keeps us warm. After surgery our bodies are burning the fat stored and we are not getting as many carbs if any. So this is the only thing I can come up with. Maybe as smaller amounts of carbs are introduced this subsides . I don't know.

I came across this article: http://www.boxingscene.com/weight-loss/30698.php

It seems that their could be several reasons for this happening, but first and foremost, the body is losing weight rapidly and the temp regulation needs time to catch up.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
