I am always cold since my sleeve on 12/7/15.

I have to keep a personal heater on me all times during work and a blanket and thick PJ's when I am home.

Try some hot hands. They might help.

I lost a lot of weight previously and my hands and feet were always freezing even in summer, but once my weight loss slowed down (after 1 year) it got better.

That's funny you mentioned this bc I was just sleeved on the 12th and I notice I am always grabbing for my throw blanket. I guess I better get use to it.

was sleeved in May 2015 and since then my hands and feet are almost always cold...Dr. said is is because of the rapid weight loss and will more than likely get better after I reach or get close to where my body thinks is right for me...so 1-2 years post op...give or take. I use warm drinks too or rub them together a lot :) Good luck! xx

Thanks for this thread. I was told that after surgery I would stay cold. I was just wondering how soon after surgery that happens.

I had my sleeve on 9/28 and I am always cold too. I was the guy who was always hot and wore short sleeves year round and slept in my boxers only. Now when I get ready for bed i feel like i am putting on more clothes so i don't feel cold all night long. My wife laughs at me cause she says I put on more clothes to go to bed than I do to go to work.

I bought a fleece and keep it at my desk at work cause there are days when I am absolutely freezing.

I was sleeved on 7/8/15 ... I have been cold ever since .. and I live in Georgia!

Seems like this winter .... though to some it's not extremely cold ... I am always freezing ...

My poor husband will lose weight by default ... He'll melt it off for as high as I have the heat all the time!

I was prepared to be "cold" but not "colllld" .... that's okay ... I'll take any side effect that comes my way ...

I get cuter clothes and feeling better with each day ... So I'm good :) :)

I have cold hands since surgery, which is a problem in my line of work. I am a massage therapist.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
