Very common. I went from keeping my thermostat at about 62 F up to around 80.

Haven't had surgery yet but good to know. The hubby and I might get into it cause he likes it cold. But if I invest in a heated blanket I should be fine.

Even before the fat layers start to go away, the feeling of being always cold hits.

I had my surgery in February and thought at first I was reacting to the cold that was everywhere, but now it’s late June and it was 108 here yesterday with the heat index.

I was running errands all afternoon and got slightly sweaty while going up 2 flights of stairs carrying groceries to my daughters apartment, but I was actually comfortable.


comfortable in over triple digit temps. 😱

In a way, this kinda freaks me out because now I’m afraid I might get overheated and not feel it.

It’s pretty cold here in Aus atm as we are in winter. I struggle to get warm and am not helped by the fact that our house is large and openplan it’s a nightmare to heat. My hubby always complains about my cold hands and feet, even in summer. However the last 2 days I have noticed that the pads below my thumbs have been looking decidedly blue! I am somewhat concerned and will mention it to my Dr . I am not struggling to breath and my fingertips are fine. I am hoping that it may just be because there is no longer any fat there so it is easier to see the veins through my ageing skin!

I am always under a blanket. My office was always cold before the surgery where I had to purchase a small heater. I currently have used it every day since surgery.

Same, I have a sweater stash in my car, at my work, at my moms. I also have a giant basket full of blankets in my living room because I get cold SOOO easily.

And our group seems large but I 💕you all for relating your struggles too! I'm thinking of a plaque that says:
I MAY BE WARM NEVER AGAIN WITHOUT SWEATERS, LAYERED CLOTHING AND SOFT BLANKETS!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
