Is anyone freezing?

[LisaDomalewski 79]

Ever since surgery I have been really cold. I used to sweat at night, not anymore. Its really weird.

I'm sitting here at my desk at work with my space heater blowing right on me. I have to sit under a blanket on the couch at home. It's especially bar after I've cooled down after working out. Then I feel like a popsicle!

My surgery was December 2013 - And i am still always cold. I have a heater under my desk, wear sweaters, and love it when it is 80 to 85 degrees outside. I love my new life, so it is okay for me to always be cold.

I keep my heat set at 74, have the fireplace and a space heater running and sleep in long johns under my jammies. My husband calls spring/winter/fall his "dry spell" because he isn't getting any. I am NOT taking off a stitch of clothing when I'm always freezing.

I thought I was the only one whose body temperature has dropped! Don't get me wrong :I'll take being cold over hot flashes any day!

Hmm at two months I'm not freezing. Is this something most people developed right after surgery or should I expect this down the road?

yes, yes, yes, ever since my op 2.5 years ago. I went out in a coat today when everyone else wore t-shirts.

For years since surgery, I have been particularly cold. My feet seem to be the coldest. I have used the hair dryer to heat up my feet and shoes at home in a pinch . I wear thick socks and shoes, but still need a heater or heating pad/blanket when I am idle. I too, will trade that for sweating way more pre surgery... But Arizona and Hawaii are looking pretty enticing right about now????????

I feel that too! And every time I eat something cold I get goosebumps! Lol new U.S. I guess ????

I've noticed a tremendous difference since my surgery. I was always, always hot! I would have the window open in the wintertime. Not anymore... since my surgery I sleep in pants and a long sleeve night shirt. I am always cold!

Yes! Our A/C at the office is being repaired and its close to 30c in our building if you have a window office. Everyone around me is stripping down to the bare minimum of clothing acceptable at work where as I am just comfy in my long sleeves and dress pants. Love the sun streaming in through my window and with no a/c blowing on me I don't have to wear my heavy sweater. They all think I'm nuts????

A few months ago this question was asked about being cold & there was a posting from someone that eating considerably less carbs is the reason for this. Carbs help heat your body. I think this must be true because I have noticed that when I'm keeping my carbs down under 60g I'm colder. Has anyone else heard this?

Post op with my surgery being 11-4-14 I can advise yes I am always freeZing. It's April and I constantly wear my long sleeve sweaters to work because I know everyone else will be asking to crank up the as while I'm reaching for my jacket. In all reality I'm getting 100lbs down from this time last year so I figure by fall of 2015 and winter I'll be bundled up 24/7.

I feel the same always cold. I wonder if it was because some of the weight is coming off and the Fluid intake. I'm just happy it's not the hot flashes that drove me crazy!

[kellmark 59]

I am always so cold too!! I was always hot before surgery, sleeping with the windows open while it was snowing outside!!! Now I'm always on the cold side!
