Thank you for the post Becca..I thought I wasthe only one feeling this way. I put my comforter in the dryer every night before bed and have my husband tuck me in....I love it... but it looks like I will be purchasing a Heating Pad and/or Heating Blanket in the very near future! I hate being cold..

I'm am also a heated blanket devotee. I got one a month ago and I'm fairly certain it saved my marriage. ;) Once I get cold the only thing that helps me is a steaming hot bath in our deep garden tub. That's how I warm up these days. I take a hot bath almost daily just to be warm. Sad. :)

I am so glad to see I am not the only one! The only thing I am fortunate at home in is that my guy tends to be cold as well. We have flannel sheets and four very heavy, thick blankets on our bed. At work, it is a constant battle for me. I have started wearing boots to work, with very thick socks. I keep sugar free hot chocolate, because that works wonders for warming me up from the inside out. I keep a nice, thick sweater at work, and, finally, I bought a small heater on eBay that I keep discreetly hid under my desk. Hey, a girl has to do what she has to do to keep warm.

I'm ashamed to say that cold actually forced (FORCED I TELL YOU) me to buy a pair of UGGs the other day. I've always hated them, but then I put them on and their warm snuggly softness just sucked me right in. Damn them.

Love it! I might have to follow your lead... :)

I'm so cold it's not even funny, and I live in south Louisiana where "cold" means it's less than 70 degrees out. Seriously. I have never felt hands colder than mine right now! LOL I'm sitting here on the couch wearing long yoga pants, camisole, long-sleeved T-shirt, fleece hoodie, thick fluffy socks, and ugg-type slippers with fleecy lining, and I'm freezing.

But y'all, I'll TAKE IT! If I'm cold every flipping day of my life from now on, I'll just learn how to layer up--it's SO WORTH IT!

My husband also saw the commercial for the "hot booties" (the name just makes me snicker) and has threatened to get me a couple of pairs for bed... currently I wear almost as many clothes to bed as I have on now, and that's with an extra thick blanket in addition to our regular bedclothes!! Ah, well, summer's coming. On the flip side, I never sweat any more--it's pretty great not to feel all icky and sweaty.

      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
