Could this be a new wierd side effect?

I just had surgery on 6/15 and arrived home yesterday. I noticed immediately that I was cold all the time because I was always hot before. I just raised the temp on my AC to 74 and keep going out on the porch to get warm. I can't attribute it to weight loss because I just had the surgery 4 days ago.

That is a very common side-effect of surgery and most of what I have read from others tells me that a lot of people experience this. I did as well to the point of wearing socks to bed and sweaters in the daytime and I never used to do that. I think it wanes after awhile but I do notice that I get much chillier very quickly now. Rapid weight-loss will do that to you.

i'm only 5 days out, but i know what you're talking about!! i live in texas and last night i had on sweats and a sweatshirt AND was wrapped up in a blanet while watching tv.....and it was 101 degrees outside!! it's crazy!

I keep getting really hot and then really cold and then really hot, back and forth. Mostly cold though, because I can tolerate being cold longer than I can being hot. My bedsheets are tied in knots from me flipping them of and on all night, yeesh!

Yes, I used to sweat even in 60 degree weather and I live in L.A. and it has been over 70. I am not hot! I was freezing one morning and had to stay under the covers. I get cold so easily. so it doesn't seem weird that you are, don't worry.
