Anyone Out There Cold After Getting Sleeved?



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved on Monday. Ever since I find myself being kinda cold all the time. Is this normal? I'm usually sweating. Lol

Me too. Ill sit under a blanket with the heater on while hubby is saying its not cold. It can be residual effects of the anesthetic and less movement :)

It has to do with a low calorie intake. You burn calories to keep yourself warm. Less calories, low body temperature.

I worry about this. I am getting sleeved in January and I am cold all the time now. In preparation I have ordered a heated throw that was on sale at Kohl's black Friday sale. I hope I am not freezing all the time after surgery.

So funny you should mention this - I thought I was losing my mind. I'm freezing all the time. Which is so weird because I keep my house really cool - I watch over the thermostat (Living in NH you have to or else you will have to sell your sole or lung in order to buy heating fuel)! So yes, I am cold all the time. I wonder why?

I can't wait! I sweat like a pig, typical cliche' sweaty fat pig person. I'm always hot. My dream is to wear one of these big bulky cable knit sweaters next fall!

I wish! I am 2 1/2 months out and still hot! I am at that age.....

Looking forward to being cool. I am not as sweaty as I used to be but still warm most of the time.

Yes, this is very common after surgery! I am cold all the time too. I was cold before surgery, but this is even more so. I don't sweat much anymore either, even when I exercise.

I have started taking long baths every day, because it is the one time I feel warm!

You're not crazy!

I've never been cold in my life- I'm the person that ran the air conditioner year round. 65 degrees and the temp didn't move EVER.

Now, the heat is on at 75 degrees (minimum) AND I go to bed with a heating pad! When I'm outside, I wear a coat. I now use the heater in my Jeep and I don't complain about having a top sheet, a blanket AND a duvet on our bed. My very thin husband is happier than ever!

I'm still cold!

This is one of the side effects my case worker talked to me about. Apparently it's completely normal :)

I am so glad that I am not the only one. I am 4 weeks post op and at work I am freezing, wrapped in two blankets and even turning up the heat at home! (I like the house at 67 -honestly, now I am cranking it to 70)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
