I workout, and follow the band rules. I'm constantly cold at night. I live in vcr bc and its around 8 C

which is cold for this time of year. Could it be the weight loss, or not enough food. I eat about 1100 calories a day, but on the on the odd day only about 800. I'm trying for 1200 a day as I walk 16 kms a week, and work out with a trainer 2x week for an hour each time. Why am I so cold. I was always a hot person before. I am taking a hot bath tonight just to warm up.

thx

It's been 80 degrees for the last week. I'm really cold at night too. I think that it is a side effect of the band, but I am not certain. I too am taking baths and using my bed warmer tostay warm. That might be something to ask the doctor about too. I am going to ask mine when I go in for my next apt. on the 9th.

I'm always cold, too. What is your iron level? I have low iron and it's been going down every year since I got my band (nearly 4 years now). I am even on iron supplements and I still can't get it to go up to a decent level. In fact, now my docs are all working on this issue. Anyway, being cold is a symptom of low iron. Just wondering if that could be an issue for you.

i live in FLA and I'm cold in the evening too.

i think you're right, may be fewer calories, etc...

if I look back at when I was heavier, I tended to be warm and sweat more frequently. so now i think my body is under a bit less pressure.

Anyone think it might be because you have less insulation(fat) to keep you warm?

Yep, count me in. I used to be hot all the time, too. I've taken to wearing socks to bed at night (ick). Otherwise I wake up every time I roll over and my feet touch a cold spot.
