Are you COLDER after surgery?

I'm finding that i am much colder the past week since my surgery, and since I'm losing weight. I guess that only makes sense as the fat starts falling off. Are others experiencing that, too? I live in Chicagoland, so winter is approaching (although we've had a great season thus far!) and it will only get colder. I'm going to be in big trouble when it does! LOL

      Yes! I was the girl for many years that said "I never get cold and I am always hot!" And I was always hot. I live in Arizona and we don't get much of a winter but even when the temps would dip in t

      Yes. Your body fat is a good insulator. As you lose the fat you will find that you are much colder. When I go outside and shovel the snow, I am now using hand warmers. What a great invention.

    I was cold at first and then BAM - hot flashes hit (due to my age). My inner thermostat changed every 30 days for the last 2 months. As recommended by my gynecologist, I started taking Black Cohosh. That stuff works great! Now I'm just cold all the time. I think it's great, I can now wear cute sweaters and even layer for a cuter look.

    KimDawn, I have the same problem. What is the dosage of Black Cohosh each day. Where can I buy it? Thanks in advance.

    Chris, take 1 tablet twice a day with food. You can get it anywhere that sell B-12, biotene and other Vitamins (wal-mart, walgreens, etc). I haven't had a hot flash since. LOVE IT!!! OH and keep up the good work!

    I'm freezing and I can't get warm. You lose blood during surgery and that is also part of it. I seriously cannot warm up and feel like I'm literally freezing to death.

    4 months in, this has eased up some. It still happens, but not as much and not as harsh.
