I've been making sure there's a quilt or throw near me whenever I sit still. I live in Florida and have 4 blankets on my bed...and I'm wearing socks to sleep in every night, along with a sexy pair of sweat pants and a 3/4 sleeve shirt. Thank goodness for Goodwill!

Today I had to make up the guest room for company later this week. It made me sad to have to wash one of my quilts to put on that bed. I certainly hope my company isn't cold-natured or they'll have to sleep in with me for the heat!!

I have been the same way. I have 2 wool blankets and a comforter on the bed and have to sleep with wool socks? What causes this after surgery?

i honestly think its the lack of Iron.. its why aenimic people are always cold too.. who knows.. but im freezing all the time now!

and yet me eating a popsicle im sure wasn't helping.. lol,

Wish I had good news ladies. I am freezing too. Here I sit in "sunny" Southern California with a high of 70 today. What did I wear? Pants with a high neck sweater to work, with a blazer on top. If I was in the sun, I was fine.

Did anyone else catch the clause of preop paperwork in fine print of my sleeve surgery that a move to Hawaii or the Caribbean was needed? HA HA

Say "fleece" with me. It will be your newest friend and worse fashion offender. Oh well, I still love my sleeve.

Nope, been tested and Iron is still higher, typically a tad higher than a typical person, always has been in my case.

I swaer I woke up from surgery and have been cold ever since. I went from sleeping in my undershorts to sleeping with undershorts, undershirt and wool socks to those PLUS long fleece pants and a henley tee. All the while in a bedd piled high with covers and a heated mattress pad. I wear a sweater at work nearly all the time in the Winter too.

We've speulated elsewhere in the forum but have nothing conclusive. Other theories are of course the weight loss and less insulation (fails to explain a sudden lack of heat and getting cold while still overweight at weights previously hot at) and the lack of ghrelin from the surgery removing the largest part of the stomach that produces it. I know of someone who had a RNY bypass and therefore has their stomach still intact, although off to the side. She is freezing too. So the ghrelin theory may not hold Water.

DECREASED caloric intake certainly must play a part, the body is using the calories we take in just to keep alive and not sparing any for excising heat.
