I agree! I am soo cold and even 75 degreed doesn't make me happy!!! We also start the winter/fall in California- San Francisco so it can be REALLY cold here! I just got myself a new warmer clothes!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not a freak!! I've been hot most of my life, fogging up car windows, running the fan 365 days a year.I live in Norther California, it is 63 degrees right now and I've worn my jacket in the office all day.

I've invested in wool lined boots, cute ones. I've always wanted a pair, but they made me too hot so I didn't. And the best part is now I do not mind snuggling up to my super stove of a boyfriend at night!!!

Will have to look up the theories mentioned; they all seem reasonable, but I am curious.

Thank you all again. ~panda

I personally stay hot I wish I was cold. I have trouble sleeping at night I wake up sweating and this started after I was banded.

I hope everything is okay. Seems like cold is the general feeling.

I have been having trouble with my teeth since being banded also. They seem to "hurt" almost. I was worried that I am maybe missing something in my diet that I need for them. But then I thought about it and it seemed silly. Not drinking soda and avoiding sweets is good for my teeth so I am stumped as to why they are so sensitive. My gums also seem to be swollen a little too. I have a dentist appt. on Tuesday and plan to bring this up to him. Perhaps he can suggest something. For now I have just been using toothpaste for sensitive teeth and trying to avoid foods/drinks that bother me.

That sounds awful to deal with. I have teeth issues, but mostly from grinding them at night. Let us know what the dentist thinks, okay?

Eeek, hope its not scurvey! Not seriously, you'd be unlikely to get scurvey in this day and age but ARE you eating enough vegetables and fruit?

I am still pre-op and on a liquid diet. I can't have any fruit and I salad for dinner everyday, with some meat. I have two shakes a day for lunch and Breakfast. The only thing I am doing "wrong" is not taking my Vitamins everyday, but I am getting better.

Yes I noticed this also!! Cold cold cold!! My boyfriend is smaller than I am and of course he's always cold and im always sweating, but since the surgery its been the other way around....also my teeth hurt, I'm wondering if this is because of all the liquids? hmmm....oh well I wouldnt trade it for the world :)

I used to ALWAYS be hot. I always carried a fan with me in my purse, because I was always breaking a sweat. Since surgery, all of a sudden i am cold. I have never been cold in my life. I could wear flip flops in the snow.... Now, I have to put on a sweater when it's in the 60's!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
