Fingers and toes numb

[NYJenn 1,464]

So after losing 130+ pounds, I’m always cold...but tonight I attended a football game, I was dressed appropriately for the 43° weather. I had on gloves and boots but my fingers and toes went completely numb. It took nearly an hour, once we left the game, for the feeling to fully return. How am I going to survive winter this year if I can’t even tolerate fall weather??? 😩

I hear you! And I'm in Arizona! I am wearing socks to bed and sweaters every where. This past summer was the most enjoyable I can remember - even on the hot days! I used to need the AC turned to 68, just to sleep. Now I am perfectly comfortable at 80. My fingers and toes get cold, too. What a difference a layer of blubber makes! there's a reason seals and whales can live in cold water!

Hot hands and toes are my favorite cold weather aid. It's the only thing that got me through the game last Friday lol.

Wish I had invented them, they are a GodSend and THINK of the royalties I'd be raking in!

that's really common. I eventually got to the point where I was no longer cold all the time, but some people remain cold YEARS after surgery.

Think I'll be one of THEM, used to mock my older relatives with their. cardigans and such all the TIME- hello that's ME. One of my BFF asked her hubby for a blanket sleeper with footies attached- hmmm Wonder if the make them in a 16/18? Hey Just had one of my Flashes of Brilliance- Wal-Mart had jammie- styled Halloween outfits, even in grownup sizes, don't care if I look like a Dragon, Pig or Lambie, Praise GOD I just MIGHT BE WARM and besides the price is 50% off! HELLO CLEARANCE AISLE, I'm coming to YOU!

I am also much colder since surgery. I dread going out to feed the critters, especially on these 30 degree mornings!

I dread the grocery stores - they are sooooo cold. If I need a frozen item, I almost run to get my item and get out! I work in a hospital, which are always cold. My fingers are freezing all day long - from the AC and also from hand washing all day long. My poor patients! I try so hard not to touch their skin!

[Lynda486 784]

I try to keep a jacket in the car for going to the store and hospitals are always freezing!

I feel like I’ll need to tape those hand warmer things all over my body this winter ☹️
