Always Cold...



Recommended Posts

Yes I'm getting cold even with 30 lbs lost. My DH said to me before surgery that he couldn't wait until I lost some weight so I would be cold as well. He says we keep our house too cold. Now I won't admit I'm cold, but you can see me running around the house with my socks on and a throw blanket around me on the couch. :) I do have thyroid problems, but I take a pill each day. My tests just came back OK so it is the weight loss that is making the difference.

Want to hear a funny story?

A number of years ago, DH insisted I see the doctor because he was sure there was something seriously wrong with me - like anemia. So off I went to our old country doctor (lived in Mineola, TX at the time - population 4,000).

I told him why I was there - husband made me come in because I'm so cold all the time.

He looked my chart over....and asked me, "When was the last time you had intercourse?"

I just sat there....thinking....okay, I'm not a doctor, but????

Finally, I said, "What does that have to do with anything?"

The good doctor said, "It has everything to do with treating frigidity."

"FRIGIDITY?????? Good Lord, I'm not frigid....I'm just cold."

Haha Carlene! Talk about miscommunication..

Yep, I am a cold one. I used to be a hot one. Now, I have no insulation and have REALLY become a member of my family. They have always been cold, even in the summer. Now, I am one of them!!!

I am always cold now. Since the day I was banded I have been. I was told it is because we are not eating as much so our bodies are not consantly burning the calories. I guess that means our bodies are not having to work so hard all the time. I have never really believed the thing about insulation because it is my skin that gets cold not whats inside. Just my opinion though. But I would much rather be cold then hot so its a plus for me.

I know where that is.. LOL

I grew up in Tyler. Mineola is a strange little town (no offense if you grew up there). lol My sister still lives there and I dunno how she stands it.

        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.

      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
