Banded on 3/13 and am down 20lbs. Yea me... but, i'm freezing all the time. Now, I'm not a delicate little flower (just yet) so I do have fat to keep me warm but I never had this problem before the surgery. If anything it was just the opposite (that female age thing).

Does anyone have an explanation or solution? I'm sitting her freezing??????

l too, am cold all the time...right down to my core..actually have to sleep with a heated blanket still and its summer...

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)??

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.

Sounds like my house!!!!

Yes I am definately cold. But I prefer being cold to being hot like before!

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.

OMG I am so glad to hear that other people were experiencing this....my family will be happy to know that while its 80 degrees outside and I have the heat on its really a reason for me being cold brrrrr....

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.

I can actually keep my A/C at 78 and not be sweating bullets. :thumbdown:
