Body Tempurature Change Since Surgery



Recommended Posts

Some people say they are not hot and sweaty after surgery, but I am still always hot since surgery 3 days ago. Does it take awhile for my body temp to change? You know they say they cut out some kind of tempurature hormone thing that is in your stomache??? (anyone else heard that?)

I was a roller coaster the first few days after surgery. I would have intense hot flashes and then be cold. It evened out after a few days and now I'm 3 weeks out, 41 lbs down, and cold all the time! Lol!

That is scary to me. I am still considering the surgery but don't want a portion of an organ removed from my body that assists and/or helps control body temperature. WOW!

When you shed weight, you shed insulation, therefore you are more sensitive to cooler temps. Just science, nothing to do with the removal of the stomach. I had issues with being superheated after my c section. Mostly hormonal and it subsides.

I expected to be cold right away too. I was surprised it took a few weeks but it made sense. It took my body a while to adjust on all fronts. We are saving a couple hundred per mth in elec bill around here compared to last summer because I don't stay hot all day. It's fabulous!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
