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.

      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!!
