Ccccccccold!



Recommended Posts

I know this has been discussed before ...

But DANG with always being cold!

Saturday night hubby and I went to the dirt track races ... it was in the 40's ... I swear to God it took me 2 days to warm up! I was chilled to my bone marrow I swear ...

Every single day I wear my coat at work ... WITH my heater on ... and my toes are still cold ... along with my fingers ...

Geesh!

Who knew ( I mean obviously someone knew ) ... That our extra weight actually kept us THAT warm!

Like I said ... I know we've all discussed this before ... But I had to get this off my chest ... again.

I was always cold even when I was fat. Now it's worse! Leave my space heater running under my desk all day long at work. Stay under a blanket at home. Wear my coat or a hoodie at restaurants and movies. I feel like I'm never warm.

I've actually spent time scouring the internet for ideas on how to keep my fingers from turning purple while I use my keyboard and mouse at work... any gloves thin enough to type with wouldn't be warm enough. :(

ive seen gloves that have little hats on them ... you can flip them over and button them to the back of your hand so you can use your finger tips to type, etc ..

I actually ALMOST bought a pair ... they looked pretty snug on the hands as to not interfere with the keys ...

Sounds like whoever invented them ... will be rich from us bariatric patients! :)

My key to warmth is layers. I always wear a tight tank top, no matter the temperature. When it's cool, I layer on CuddleDuds. Look them up! They have three thicknesses to choose from and when it's really cold, I wear two sets under my jeans and sweater. If my core is warm, and I'm wearing socks, my hands don't go numb.

Hell. At least I'm thin enough to wear layers under my jeans!!

@LipstickLady I never heard of a Cuddle Dud ... That is on my Amazon list of things to check out ...

Thank you for the hint !! :)

Maaaaybe... I should buy bigger shoes and wear 3 pairs of socks!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
