Cold Weather



Recommended Posts

So my doctor would not fill me any more thinking I was in the green zone a few months ago. I could eat anything as long as chewed well no breads but everything else. So I live in Texas and last week the weather has become colder. Now my band is tight new food are giving me problems but I eat slower and chew more I am fine. This seems crazy does anyone else have this issues? I just don't think I can get so tight from cold weather maybe I am missing a sign from the band.

I haven't been banded yet, but have been a science teacher for 25 yrs.Yes, your band will be tighter with lower temp, and higher in warmer temp but because your body is warmblooded @ 98.6, you shouldn't notice a difference due to temp change.

I beg to differ, I get very cold prob due to thyroid and i get stiff and I bend over and my muscles crouch in if I can explain how I get when I am cold and it affects my ability to eat. I will take a nice hot shower and get warm then i can eat better, and i am in FLA! but they like to run air in cold weather in my office, I am having very hard time on cold days so decided to just bring soups... nothing else going down if I am cold.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
