I had my surgery on Sept. 13 th. And ever since then I've been so cold. Has this happened to anyone, and why might it be?

Same here. I'm normally hot all the time but not since surgery!

Sometimes right after anesthesia you get really cold, which is why they have all the warming blankets. Your metabolism may be slowing to a halt temporarily, until you get your calories in. That might be why you are cold

Welcome to my world! I used to be the one overheating all the time, now I'm using a heavy blanket while watching tv, while the hubby is in shorts and t-shirt and says the house is warm. Well I don't know what is causing this but I guess it is better than seating:)

I just got home from the hospital last night. I did lose a lot of blood while in surgery. I probably will ask the dr. When they call me today.

Same with me. I was having hot flashes before then saw cold. Not bad since during the summer it was great. Still after 7 months, I still am not sweating unless I work out.

I haven't had my surgery yet but at the seminar I attended they said if your hot natured you'll be cold natured and if you cold natured you'll be even colder!

      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.
