Cold ALL The Time!

[AJDuke 39]

I have lost 54lbs so far. I stay cold all the time now. At night when I settle down for the night I feel like I am going to freeze to death! My hands and feet feel like they are numb. Does anyone else get like this?

I get cold easier. My hubby put electric blanket on the bed for me.

I'm 6 months out and still feel much colder than pre-surgery, especially with cold weather moving in. Maybe it will get better when we get to maintenance mode and our calories go up?

Go to Walmart and buy a Toasty Toes. It's a little electric pad that just goes at your feet in bed. It's the best thing ever. I turn it on about an hour for bed and its so nice to get into a warm bed. That way I don't get too hot all night because of the electric blanket. I hug a hearing pad too.

2 years out and still freezing - far more than when I was thin to begin with. I am convinced it is SOMETHING other than just weight loss that does this. I was cold directly out of surgery h weight loss.

I'm 18 mo out and this is me too! I was never this cold in my thinner days before I had a weight problem. Mine also started in the hospital after surgery so I think it is definitely more than just weight loss.

I'm now freezing constantly! Prior to surgery I kept the air conditioning on year round. Now, I sleep with a heating pad and I'm going to add an electric blanket to our bed tonight. The colder the weather, the worse it is!

as stated above, I came out of surgery freezing 5 days ago and have been cold since. I have had the furnace on, I am dressed in sweats, using a heating pad at night. Prior I loved it a nice 68 inside, always had a fan going for circulation and complaining it was warm.

There was an episode on bariactrictv.com about this. They said it is common after WLS. The only solution they offered . . . never go anywhere without wearing layers!

If you can muddle through this...I think feeling cold is a side effect of basically devoid levels of grehlin

I am so glad I saw this because I will be two weeks out tomorrow and before surgery I was always hot and freezing everyone out of the house but now I am always freezing!!! Laying here freezing with two blankets as I speak!
