I’m 17 days post op and my skin is pale now instead of my natural tone. That and getting cold. Hands & feet especially. Does anyone know if I should be concerned?

Your healing from surgery. If you are concerned call your surgeons team.

Jenn1 is absolutely correct, to amplify it also, if you are on a 1200 or less calorie diet, you are getting enough to keep on living, you're starting to melt off,your fat,which has been your insulation, reason 1. reason 2 you just don't have enough,calories for your inner furnace to put out much heat. You will eventually level out, although you may always be a little more sensitive to temperature changes, you'll be out of the sweatsuits and thermal underwear on high Summer soon.
Major surgery is inherently a shock,to the system, sometimes for itself, sometimes for slight blood loss. Another reason to take your bariatric vitamins like they told you to.
Gosh I hope my own surgical office has some good suggestions, better than doubling up on my Centrum Silver, some people have said some kinds are yucky-poo.??

Thanks for your replies.

I'm pale too. Everyone always comments on it.
