Cold since surgery - is this normal?



Recommended Posts

I had my band and port removed on 8/10 and ever since then, I am FREEZING cold!!!! I have no earthly clue as to why!

I walk around the house in a heavy fleece bathrobe, house slippers, with the thermostat set on 75!!!! I turned off all of the fans and enjoy going outside in the hot humid 89 degree weather....in my fleece bathrobe because my body thinks it nice outside!

I can tell you, that is not me. Usually I am turning the thermostat to 70, tuning ceiling fans and room fans on to stay cool. What in the world is wrong with me? My husband and son are suffering because I am so cold. I often have to get in a hot shower to get warm!

Anyone else experience this after any surgery?

I am 15 months post op and I am still very cold. I live in Florida and it still isn't hot enough LOL. I am dreading winter. Last winter I had to buy an electric blanket for my bed so I could be warm enough.

All labs have been good other than low Vitamin D level which I have been supplementing for past 6 months. I go see my PCP next week and will address it.

I have seen this issue brought up here.

Seems many of us are colder at a lower calorie intake and or lower weight.

Enjoy summer! Fall is approaching, and I have heating pads in several spots at my house and an electric blanket just for the foot of my bed!! (My feet seem to be the coldest part of me.... )I have resorted to running a hair dryer into my boots to heat things up!

Best of luck! Sad to say that even a small weight gain made me warmer

Sigh

@@Dream4tc You can get them at JC Penney, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart places like that. I would get a mattress pad but the cats like to sleep on the blanket and who am I to be comfy?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
