COLD hands, cold feet, cold nose???



Recommended Posts

Was just wondering if anyone is experiencing very cold hands, feet and nose?

I was checking out the 'net and wondering if I'm anemic. (I had been in the past). Seeing as I have yet to eat a steak - it's probably the cause.

I have an appt with my general practitioner next week, but wanted to see if anyone else shared this, and what did they end up having.

I've also heard it could be related to thyroid (but I was tested numerous times pre-banding and I was fine). I think I ruled out Raynaud's syndrome, because it's not situational.

I was banded 9/26/07, and I'm down 40 lbs. Pre-banding was still warm in the Northeast - we are in the dead of winter now and it's pretty cold here.

Thanks guys!

I am experiencing the same exact thing! I just figured my body was not used to having all the extra insulation from my weight loss. I wear thermal PJ's to bed now instead of a sleeveless summer nightie all year long and wear socks for the first time in i swear 5 years cuz my feet are always like ice bergs. At least my husband is happy that i dont have the ceiling fans on year round anymore LOL!

me too I am so cold that I walk around the house in a blanket or robe and i use to hate to wear socks now I wear heavy socks and slipper. I just think that our bodies need to adjust to have less fat (a good thing) a insulation.

I live in Norwood, MA. I am cold all the time. I bought a bunch of pairs of long johns for women and I wear them under my clothes every day. I wear two pairs of socks most days too. I never had issues like this before. I'm thinking it's all of the insulation I've lost.

I recommend long johns. It may help.

Good luck....bbbrrrrrrr!

Not only insulation, but metabolism, I think. I have a skinny skinny friend who is always cold, and I used to make fun of her. Now I know exactly how she feels. We are up in Western Washington state visiting our kids for Christmas, and I can't wait to get back to Arizona and feel warm again!

I think it's just one of those things that happen when you lose weight. I've been cold for the past year! Before the band, I used to sleep with the windows open until it got below freezing. Now, if it's below 70, I'm sleeping in sweats and socks!

I specifically asked my surgeon this yesterday when I was in for my first post-op .. . and he said lost of people say they are cold post-op . . . and the ones who loose faster seem to be colder . . . he said that's just part of the body changing.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
