I am always cold and my hubby is just the opposite. He has always sweated too easy. I think I was just about normal as far as temp before surgery. We are always turning the air off or on when the other isn't looking.

My hands, feet, legs and arms stay freezing cold. But I hate wearing slippers and socks around the house. I typicaly stay wrapped up in a blanket if watching TV. I am at work right now and have on a jacket because I am freezing. Maybe it's because we have lost insulation (as in fat)??

My body is finally beginning to regulate it self. It only took 4 months after my surgery for that to happen!

:rolleyes:I love being cold. I was always the first one to sweat and be hot before anyone else. I used to dread going into stores because I would sweat so much that my hair would be drenched in a matter of minutes. Now I keep my house set at 76 to 78, I freeze at work and I hardly ever sweat (I live in Arizona) and I love it.

I'm the same way and I was never like that before the surgery. I've only lost 44 pounds and I'm already like that. I don't understand it. How could just 44 pounds make that much of a difference in temp regulation?

Holistic doctor said take extra Omega 3 oil (fish oil) and that should help after a while. Good for heart and hair also. Can also get it in liquid form at health food store.

I'm so happy to have stumbled onto this thread! I've always been very hot natured. I thought I was having some kind of post op infection even though I have no temperature.

Now I can just enjoy the energy savings from turning down my AC!:(

Obviously there will be a difference in our tolerance to cold once we lose weight, but I'd still advise you to get your thyroid checked and make sure you're not anemic...

Other than that, just enjoy the lack of sweat this summer:thumbup:

On the positive side, now I'm comfortable in hot weather. Last week I was cutting the grass when it was 92 degrees, and I was sweating, but comfortable. It's nice not having all of that extra insulation.

      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!!
