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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
