So cold

Too cold to google :)

I know being cold is one of the after affects of surgery. I assumed it was something that would happen later on, after a substantial weight loss. I'm 5 days out, 8 lbs down and freezing. Is this the coldness everyone warns about or am I being a baby about normal winter weather?

I have never had that issue. Last night I was sweating all night in bed. Frankly, I would welcome being cold.

Your coldness is residual from the crap they pumped into you during surgery. Anesthesia, etc. Your body is in shock and healing from surgery. It's normal. Bundle up and drink some hot chocolate with Protein powder!

I feel the cold so much more now than before. Now I wear gloves when I go out, I bought a very warm coat and have the heating on much earlier than I would. Isn't it a fact that your metabolism works harder when you are cold ;)

I am always cold and I am a year and a half post op. I sleep under an electric blanket, have a heated throw and bundle up constantly- by the way I live in Florida.

I am at Nine months, and I'm still very cold. However sometimes I do warm-up and I noticed that this is when I'm actually in a stall with my weight. So when I'm cold I lose when I warm I don't.

I'm very cold and I'm 8 days out. I use to be the one walking around the house and going outside in shorts. Lately it's been 60 degrees and I'm freezing.

My dr mentioned it at one month out about being less tolerant of cold now that I've lost weight--that it is a normal side effect..

oh my gosh, the last couple of days I have been shaking I was so cold. Last night I went to bed and had two blankets plus the bedspread on me. I was still cold so I went to the living room and got my electric throw blanket and put that on me too!!! I am always cold so nobody thinks twice about me walking around with a jacket in 100 degree weather, but wow....

I am the exact same way. I start losing weight I freeze to death. I cant even walk through our grocery Store without a coat. I burn my wife out of the house with the wood stove going. Its kinda odd. Im 6'1 275lbs and stay wrapped up like an eskimo while y wife is in shorts and a tank top
