Girl, me too! I am always cold now (unless, of course, I'm sitting in front of a heater). My hands and feet suffer the most; I always have to wear socks now. I hate wearing socks to bed, because they move around and drive me crazy, lol! But now, I don't have a choice because my feet are always so cold.

Have you lost a good bit of weight? I've lost over 60 pounds, so I bet that's why I'm so cold. I basically shed 60 pounds of warm blubber, and my much smaller body doesn't know how to cope properly. :P

I am 11 months out, 140 pounds down. I freeze all of the time. We have an infrared heater that I drag with me around the house to whatever room I am in and I keep it facing me if I sit on the couch. It's a complete 180 because before surgery, I loved a cool house - now I can't stand it. I burn my husband and son up, but I am just so cold! ;)

Almost a universal complaint. We're losing our insulating layers! :)

I work from home 2 days a week, and used to have my workspace set up in my living room in front of a window. This last weekend I had to clear out the spare bedroom and move my workspace there so that I could better heat it up with a space heater because I'll get too cold to work, and even get a Migraine from being so cold.

For me, it's mostly a good thing, because I was always the one who got hot and sweaty all the time, and was miserable. So given the option I'd rather be cold because I can use heated throws, heated mattress pads, socks, etc. to get warmer but there's only so far you can take off clothes in public and not get arrested. LOL.

And, of course, I'm in Texas. We only have about 1, maybe 2 months of real cold here (just got through a vicious cold snap) but on the order of 6 or 7 months of insane heat. So I'd rather be more comfortable in the heat and have to layer up for 1 or 2 months. :D

You know what happens when you are all nice and toasty in bed and then throw all those layers of blankets off and start to shiver? That's what we are doing with our weight loss. It will take a while for your body to adjust again and find it's proper internal heating settings. lol! Could take a year. I'm freezing all the time as well. I now dress in outrageous # of layers ( undershirt, long underwear top and bottom, sweater, jeans AND jacket. And I live in CA. lol!!!! Oh, and I have a heating blanket on my bed cranked up to (insert accent) eleven! (spinal tap joke, only have it turned up to 5.)

I can hardly wait till our winter starts to know what being cold is like. Although when I was this weight many years ago I still felt the heat and never the cold

I'm always cold. And it was a running joke on my old job about my year round sweating lol. Im in my heated room in a long sleeve pajama set with long pants and in one of my boyfriend's hoodies i stole. Im still cold. But it comes in levels through the day. I have an ac and even being wrapped in plastic the cold air is just blowing through. Gonna take my heating blanket down out the closet. I need all the help i can get.

I'm always cold!!!! I'm 3 weeks post op and have been freezing ever since lol. I asked my skinny friends if they are always this cold and they say it's just me so I'm assuming it has to do with the surgery.

Yeah, I don't weigh as often as I used to either. I used to weigh myself every day. Now it's more like twice a week, lol. Thank you so much! And congrats to you as well! Keep it up! :D

That's funny because I'm always hot and tend to start sweating for no reason. Looking forward to being always cold

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
