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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
