Carol Watts 67 Posted November 2, 2012 I don't have hot flashes, I guess cause I take hormone shot monthly. I defiantly have them cold flashes mine started about 2 am in the morning right after I came home from surgery. My hubby put flannel sheets on bed for me and then had to put the electric blanket on bed for me. I keep a blanket by my recliner also. My family never thought they would hear me say I am cold. I also wear hoodies and long sleeve t-shirts alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I know I didn't want new jeans) I went sweat pant shopping and hoodie shopping for my winter wardrobe! When I get dressed in the morning I am freezing. Then I strip the sweatshirt and 15 mins later its back on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purdy in Pink 57 Posted November 3, 2012 I'm over a year and a half out since surgery.....I'm cold all the time.....it started for me after I lost about 50 lbs......and it still continues. I just wear warmer clothes now and it's not a problem. As for the hot flashes, My Reg Dr put me on the pill and I have NO more of those....woohoo best of luck to all!

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 3, 2012 I haven't had any hot flashes. But I definitely feel cold alot more often than I did before. Been freezing ALL day today. I started to really get cold with the house temp at 62 and losing about 70 lb. I am down 120 lb now, still cold when outside but have since turned the thermostat up to 72. Heating bills are going to hurt! I don't get any hot flashes, but that may before related to the release of massive amounts of hormones stored in a woman's body as she loses the stored fat. I have a related issue of sometimes feeling crummy because my stored toxic fat is releasing toxins as the fat melts off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanaspez 58 Posted November 7, 2012 OMG, I can not wait to get back on my meds for this! I go from shivering to stripping all my clothes off as fast as I can. Which can be very embarrassing while shopping at Target! LOL…I told my sister my weight loss is from all the sweat! I sleep in another room because my husband can not stand the open window and fan blowing on us! I really hope this is over soon because if it wasn't for the hot flash and shivering cold, I would be doing much better! It has been in the 80's also, which definitely doesn't help!
