I have always been a big dude all my life. I have also always been the dude that works outside and never wore a jacket until it got below 40 degrees and was always hot even when the AC was spitting out popsicles. I am now 13 days post-op (down 20lbs btw) and have found myself to be unusually cold these past few days. My wife always complains of being cold when I was either comfortable or feeling a little to warm. Now she is looking at me like I am going crazy and turning into a weenie. A few of my compadres experienced being more sensitive to temperature, but this was after they had considerable weight loss. Has anybody else experienced a reversal in their temperature tolerances this early in the game?

Same here. I'm approx. 9mos post-op and I'm cold almost all the time!

My electric blanket arrived yesterday!

They used to,make heated mattress pads in Danville Ohio. The name of the company was Patented Products but I'm not certain they're still in business. Danville's maybe a thousand,people. Late Husband, the Somewhat Lamented, graduated from school there.

I am 4 weeks post-op. Bought an electric throw for the living room. I have a heater going under my desk at work all day. And a heated mattress pad on my bed. Sometimes I get on the treadmill and walk just to warm up. LOL
I can't wait for summer!!!

I, too, seem to be cold all the time now, where in the past I would be sweating. I look at it as a good thing in that we are losing the fat that used to keep us warm. I also use heating pads and such.

My mom says the same exact things. Thinking about getting her a heated blanket for Valentine’s Day:)

I'm using my electric blanket tonight for the first time! I can hardly wait!!

Oh how the proud have fallen, now we're thrilled by an electric blanket.

And to think, I survived the Boy Scout "Klondike" back in the day!

And I hiked in the snow with my Girl Scout troop and a loaded backpack.
