Do Post Banders Handle Heat Better?



Recommended Posts

I'm such a sweaty mess in the summer. I'm sure it's because of all this extra weight. Do any of you notice not being super hot all the time in the summer or at night? I will certainly be looking forward to next summer.

Katie - it happened to me. Used to always be hot! Drove my husband nuts. Now, I feel comfortable most of time - even in Summer. And I haven't even lost that much weight. 50 lbs more or less.

It was one of the NSV that I hadn't even thought of.

I'm sure you will be one of the lucky ones. :-)

Yes, it definitely changed for me also. I used to keep my ac at 60 during the summer. Now that's too cold. I've lost 100+ lbs. Funny, one of the side effects of hypothyroidism is being cold all the time. That was exactly opposite for me. Had every other side effect (weight gain, sleepiness), but was always hot.

It'll probably change for you too!

Haha wow I never even noticed until I read this post, but yeah I am definitely able to tolerate heat better. I usually would be complaining about it and blasting the air conditioner. But I like being out in the sun now.... Funny!

I've lost 20 kilos which I think is just a bit over 40 pounds and I definitely feel cooler. Apparently bigger people are a degree warmer, so my doctor told me. But yes looking forward to an Aussie summer weighing less and fingers crossed not feeling the heat so much this summer.

It changed for me. I love the summer heat now! Love being able to be outside with shorts and a tshirt. I loathe the winter and cold months. I am always so cold and miserable. I hate having to layer up to get warm.

I love the heat now. No sweat rash, no thigh chafing, confident wearing shoe string straps and short shorts and a bikini and cute dresses, no rolls of fat to accumulate heat. I definitely handle the heat with ease now (dont ask me about my hair and humidity though).

However, the downside of that is the cold. I live in Melbourne, very temperate, average winter day at this time of year is about 13, 14 degrees celcius - it never gets to snowing temperatures and I am freaking freezing all the time. Bone cold, painfully cold. I'm a teacher and schools arent warm places, I turn the heater on to blasting when I get to work, and the kids are all moaning and complaining and I have to turn it off - I have an "inside coat" which I never take off - a light, fleece lined trench and an outside coat - a big fat thick parka which I add on top of my inside coat for yard duty or even to go to the staffroom! I would absolutely die in some of the temperatures you get over there.

Everyday I get home from school at the moment, I'm that frozen that I have to have a hot bath to warm up.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
