Temperature change post surgery?



Recommended Posts

For those who are post surgery status, do you notice that you are colder since getting closer to your goal weight?

After complaining of being hot year around, even inside in the AC, my dietitian says once I lose weight I will need to carry a sweater with me.

I hope this is a fact! I'm so tired of being hot!

Yes, I find myself colder at certain parts of the day but especially at night.

I'm praying for this effect as well. I am constantly overheated. I'd love to need a sweater everywhere.

I was cold all the time for the first 6 months or so.

Now I am probably pretty normal. I don't get warm as fast as I used to, and I am more susceptible to being cold, but I am not freezing all the time like I was when I was dropping weight really fast.

Yup always cold.. Husband thinks I'm nuts for wearing a sweatshirt in July.

I'm not even close to my goal weight and I have already noticed a difference. I've lost about thirty pounds and find I get cold quicker. I have always been hot natured and once heated it takes me forever to get cool but it's better now

Thanks for the feedback. It looks as though I will be throwing a sweater in the backseat. YAHHHOOOO!!! :D

At first I think that comes from some mild hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and after I lost a good deal of weight I also feel (thankfully) cooler, and now I think it's because my body doesn't have as much insulating fat on it. Much easier in summertime now! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
