Ok has anyone else noticed one down side to weight loss lol

Being cold!!

Feeling the cold!

Cold cold cold!

My god its awful!

Normally even this time of year in the uk I still have my fan on till I go to sleep sometimes even while sleeping and just sleep with a sheet and a blanket over me and all year round even if it is snowing outside my bedroom window is wide open, well not any more!

Blimey!

No fan on not yet got the quilt out but extra fleecy blankets are on me and fleece or flannel night clothes because i am cold allllllllll the time the other night in bed I was half asleep and sorta stirred because I was shivering.

Who does that your shiver so bad it wakes you up!

Right now I have thick socks on my old lady fleece sheepskin slippers on leggings fleece pj pants over them a pj top and 2 cardigans to keep me warm lol

I look forward to not sweating in winter. I actually like bundling up but I am a Mass girl born and raised. Living in the south has been quite the adjustment. Lol.

I am always hot! So now when I say I am cold my hubby looks at me like I am crazy! I would still rather be cold than always sweating. I mopped my house yesterday and did not sweat-- awesome!!

Exactly. I'm only 33 so I know it wasn't menopause or anything...so I refer to them as fat flashes.

Sassypants do I know the feeling! My family was always freezing because I always had the air conditioner on about 65 even in the winter sometimes, i would not even turn the heat on because it would make me sick!

Boy o boy how the tables have turned, the heat is on and I am sleeping in fleece pjs with socks and an electric blanket, I honestly don't know how I am going to make it thru the winter, and I'm only in Mississippi!

I have lost 88 lbs so far with 69 more to go till I get to my goal weight and I am miserable with the cold, but I can always put on enough to get warm, when I was 334 lbs before I couldn't take off enough to get cool, thank goodness!

This is actually one of the things I'm most excited about. It was 40 degrees last night, I slept with my window open, with 2 sheets. I was burning up. I don't know what it's like to be cold anymore! But my surgery will probably be in November or December, maybe I'll feel cold in February :)

Just about 2 years out and I'm still cold. The upside is it's usually easier to get warm then it is to cool off, you can always ADD ;ayers but you can only take so much off - especially in public :)

I also just don't get very hot in the summer either. This past summer I was out riding my bike all through the horrible 100+ degree weather we had here, didn't really faze me at all.

      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.
