Went through that and used blankets and socks. Summer came soon enough. Gotta love Florida.

I've been cold all the time too! Unfortunately it's still kind of chilly here in Los Angeles.

I am cold all the time. I have been this way since I lost over 100 pounds several years ago. My doctor told me he thinks my body may never adjust to my lighter weight. He told me to just bundle up and enjoy it because I live in the desert, so when everyone else is miserable in the heat I am comfortable.

Hi everyone I am new to this. had surgery 1 year ago on the 27th of this month and I too am cold all the time. I live on the gulf coast in Mississippi so the temp is warm to everyone else pretty much all the time.

Fat keeps you warm like a winter coat. As you lose that fat your body is losing insulation- therefore you're cold. VERY common.

True. But I do think it is more than that. If it were just about the "coat" coming off, then it wouldn't have started on weeks one. I checked; I was still totally fat that day. It's fascinating.

Lol.

Inner Surfer Girl offered a very good explanation of this phenomenon experienced early on.......so much blood flow is redirected towards the surgery site in order to heal.

Makes perfect sense.

I remember being cold in the hospital and certainly later on at home.

I was cold this morning when I got up at 5:00am....made coffee and sat by the fireplace. Took a while to warm up.....

Oh yes! I am usually really cold in the late afternoons. I am almost 2 weeks post op and feel like laying down at around 4 pm and feel really cold no matter how many blankets I use

I also live in FL and when it is 70 degrees I am STILL cold. I am wearing fleece and sweat shirts when most people are in shorts. The humidity bothers my allergies...but I am still cold.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
