Freezing

[usedtobeaskater 58]

Had surgery 10/28/16. I am freezing most of the time. Is this normal? Down 75 lbs since surgery - 110 since this journey began.

I've noticed that myself as well. I would say yes it is normal as we have lost a lot of weight. Prior to losing, i was hot all the time and sweating. Now I'm the opposite. You can always go to your doctor and ask, maybe they can run a thyroid test on your blood just to make sure.

Not sure if it's normal but I'm always cold now too. My blood work has been coming back fine so thats not it.

I'm always cold as well. I thought I was the only one. I'm going to talk to my doctor.

It's normal and I've noticed it also. At 18 months out I still get cold

It's probably normal, but if you are low on Iron or are anemic that can make you cold all the time too ..

Up until recently, I'd not owned a jumper/sweater/jacket...

I'd never had the need for one as I'd never felt cold...

Now, at 230 pounds down and coming into winter, I've got myself three!!!

We're all now covered with so much less 'insulation'...

I think it's something we're gonna have to get used to...
