Freezing....all the time!



Recommended Posts

OMG!! Thank Goodness I thought it was just me freezing my butt off all the time!!! Everyone at work thinks I am nuts that I have a space heater on all year round yeah even in the summer, but I guess we just have to readjust to a normal weight.

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

I'm the same except I've lost most of my weight and I still feel like I have an eternal heater on. My surgeons nurse was joking saying that "OMG your gonna be feeling the cold soon enough!"...

OMG when????? Lol

I was cold before and am still cold!

Hoping to help-

Cuddl Duds/layers - http://www.cuddlduds.com I wear them as a base layer. Get mine at good old Walmart or Target. costco carries a brand called 32 degrees. Similar base layers, also good.

Electric mattress pad - nice and toasty.

Build muscle- supposed to help. Don't know for myself. Takes forever.

Anything merino wool. Can be pricey and special care needed. I have a cardigan someone gave me in a bag of clothes to help size down. I actually get toasty in it!

Good luck!

In Italy they say cold hands mean a warm heart. ;)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've been maintaining at goal for 15+ months and I am STILL freezing all the time. I did not adapt to the loss of my insulation.

Went to bed in wool socks, a base layer shirt, a sweatshirt and fleece lined pants plus had the heater on! I'm 4 years out!

So to add to previous posts, layers are key. Gloves and hats make a huge difference when outside in the cold. I opted for a heated throw for my bed as opposed to a mattress pad- hubby is always hot so this is easier to keep just on me and it turns off automatically after an hour (and I'm usually asleep by then). I have a wardrobe of coats all different weights and I now own more cardigans than I could have ever imagined.

I'm cold all the time also. It doesn't help that it's really cold out. ☃

I'm in eastern Canada. Layered up with fleece pants, fuzzy socks, fuzzy throw blanket, a cat on my lap, space heater pumping in the living room, and I'm pretty sure I'm still going to lose my fingers to frostbite. Gah! I'm down 104 lbs and have turned into a human popsicle.

My thermostat has gone down too, but it's a bit of a relief, as before, I was overheating all the time.

      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!
