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 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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
