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.

I live in Florida, and cold is still too cold. It's difficult to escape.

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
