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

heating bill will be crazyyyyyyy

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.

      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.
