Being cold is getting old!



Recommended Posts

I now know what thinner people feel like in the cold. I went camping for two nights that reached a low of the upper 20's to 30 degrees. I had so many additional layers of clothes on to try to stay warm that I loked like the Michelin man.

Ok guys I thought it was just me... I live in SC and I'm always cold now. Down 48lbs, I'm in my house with sweat pants, long sleeve shirt all the time. Total adjustment from before the weightloss when while getting dressed, I would be pouring down sweat.

Fellow Oregonian. Went skiing on Mt. Hood today and spent the rest of the evening wrapped up in an electric blanket. I'm freezing!

We were at Crater Lake last weekend and it was 26 degrees. I took my jacket and gloves off for a family photo. Brrrrr!

I had a job offer in Clearwater Florida that I turned down. There are just too many people there for our lifestyle! It was also 91 degrees with 90+% humidity when I was there in July of 2015. The area still wouldn't be for us but flip flops might be possible there.

I've been places where it's 90° and 99% humidity, and I tell you that I would take Phoenix's 120° and 1% humidity any day over that hell.

I completely understand!!! Before I lost 221lbs with gastric bypass I was HOT and SWEATY all the time. I froze everyone I was around. Now I'm the complete opposite. I'm freezing all the time and I never thought I would ever say that. I just bought my first pair of long johns and I live in the south, North Carolina. I used to love the winter, now I dread it. I'm wearing clothes on top of clothes. Not a down side to losing 221lbs, just an adjustment. When I was heavy I always said I was going to move to Alaska, now I wouldn't dream of it, maybe Florida now lol

I am right there with you. I thought I would just be overheated the rest of my life. After my gastric sleeve, I just can't warm up. I've been this way since August lol

I live in Mississippi, on the Gulf Coast, where it very seldom gets below 40 degrees, but I'm still freezing. Never wore a jacket unless it was close to 40, and I was going to be outside. Now I wear a jacket most of the time, even indoors.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
