i work in an office that is cold......i used to be able to use a little space heater until the building

said it was unsafe and it went bye bye...so for like 2+ yrs i complained as did other people about it being cold. we were jackets, sweaters, (blankets) heating blankets, heating pads..even had building workers close the vents..

a couple of weeks ago, they finally raised the temp up 1 degree and it was delightful and me with bat wings even wore short sleeves w/no jacket as it was comfortable. and TODAY, someone complained it was too hot and as i write this i have my sweater jacket on and my heating blanket in the dangum middle of summer..

just had to vent as its damn cold and its damn annoying...when i leave work, i get in hot car and thaw

I can't wait to have this problem! :)

I went from being hot all the time to being cold. It's annoying but a fact of life. I always keep a jacket or sweatshirt near me now. Lol. First world weight loss problems :D

Lots of people here complain about being cold also...summer winter spring and fall. I never had that problem...maybe as I lose I might, but then I have those lovely hot flashes that always keep me burning up. Can't win no matter what we do, I have winter boots and flip flops under the desk cause ya just never know how it's gonna be inside or out :) Stay chipper Carolina girl!!

I can relate my desk is right under a vent so I found a small ladder, climb up, cover it with some duck tape! I didn't care my co workers look at me crazy and I need to feel comfortable at work so I can do my job!

I can relate, My office has a thermostat in it but it controls not only my office but all of them down the hall and if I do not keep it set low the others are blazing hot. So therefore my office is like a meat locker! I am allowed to have a heater at my office though and I use it a lot. I feel ya! Best of luck!

I love heat, I generally keep a sweater in my office, I do have a thermometer in my office but it is just a placebo to make me feel good.

At home even in the summer I cover up with my blanket while watching the TV.

My office is always cold.

It's 100 outside and here I am with my wooly socks and fleece jacket on. Such a fashion statement.

Best part of the day is getting in my hot car at 5. Lol

I do the same. But it doesn't get really hot here (N FL) until Aug/Sept. I used to always be hot, now I am always cold too. I guess I was wearing a 165 pound blanket and its gone now!

I hate being hot but being cold and not being able to warm up is just as bad! Haha I'm constantly going from hot to cold in a matter of minutes! Hope you stay warm at work and cool everywhere else!! :D

Yup - Always cold since I lost weight! Never an issue before that! Apparently 100 pounds makes a big difference in one's ability to regulate body temperature! I keep a jacket and socks in my office and I pretty much always run my space heater at work year round. I get a lot of crap about it, but I don't care. It's an awesome complaint to have! I'd MUCH rather be down 100 pounds (eventually I'll be back to 140 or even 150 down) and freezing than back where I was at pre-surgery weight and comfortable or hot all the time!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
