I am 2 weeks out. I lost 20lbs the first week, then 2 more but have stopped moving for the last few days. Now, I am freezing cold all the time. I feel like I'm shivering on the inside. I have always been very hot natured but I now have an electric blanket on my bed and my family is sweating! I would normally think low Iron but only 2 weeks out? And no fever, thyroid is fine. Anyone else experienced this?

I do...I always have a sweater on and a blanket next to me at work if needed. Small inconvenience to go through post-op. Still loving my sleeve. Maybe we'll warm up a little down the road! Good luck!

I'm cold 24/7! My bloodwork is fine but I'm still cold. I sleep with three blankets long pants long shirts husband socks husbands robe and sometimes gloves. During the day I keep two layers of clothing on and a blanket near by.

I was sleeved September 24th and still haven't warmed up! It is a good excuse to buy some cute new sweaters. But in all seriousness it is completely normal and I would suggest layering all of your clothes.

I was always cold before, now I am downright freezing. My hands and feet are always ice cold (my nose too). I just dress in layers, fleece, etc, at work and at home. I have comfy Uggs for house shoes to stay warm at hpme. I wear half-gloves things called wristies at work in case the hands are too cold at work.

I get I am an advantage since I was always wearing a sweater (even in summer) before, so it is not tht much of an adjustment.

      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.
