I used to be a bag of hot flashes. Hardly wore coats in the winter, never had to turn the thermostat past 65, while evetyone else in the house wore sweaters and blankets. Now i am chronically cold. Today I am coming down with second cold in a month(never ever got colds more than once a year, if that) here I am with a hoodie, shawl and a wool blanket, and I cant get warm. Lost about 60 pounds since begining of Sept. didnt think the cold issue would be that bad

I lost 30+lbs still on pre op and I'm freezing all the time. Losing all this insulation.

you know that having less ski can effect your reaction to temperatures - whether hot or cold. It obviously is more severe for you :(

i also was never cold, due to my "extra" skin - new world now - just wear a sweater, and i'm happy :)

i'm anxious to see how i will react to my first summer at goal - always was so excessively hot - with less skin now, hopefully i will reap the benefits

IMO i would rather suffer a bit with a cold :( than be "heavy" ;)

bundle up, hopefully you will not keep getting sick

keep warm thoughts, and then cool for the summer :lol:

good luck to you

happy new year

I just had surgery but have already found that with what I have lost already is impacting my tolerance to cold. I was always hot, didn't wear a jacket and now I am always asking hubby if it is cold. Being cold well worth it :)

      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.
