I always ran cold.. Now I'm even colder and never thought I could get any colder. I'm guessing colder is better than too warm though

I'm the same. My fiance said to me, "there is less insulation."

I have always been the warm one, I kept my office really cool. I would need to meet with my employees in a separate conference room because everyone complained my office was too cold. I wore short sleeves year round. I had surgery on 12/28/12 - I can't get warm enough now. Heating throws while i watch TV and a heating blanket on my bed. In my office, I'm constantly drinking something warm - I'm freezing!!!

I'm the same way. Someone on her mentioned it was the gherlin (not sure of spelling is correct ) missing from our tummies. Could also be rapid weight loss, I'd like to know why. I'm constantly freezing!

I'm doing pretty good, feel good - and no desire to nap. I'm amazed at my energy (although my doctor told me caffeinated coffee was fine). I'm having baked fish for dinner. My only issue thus far, three days no bowel movement (but this too shall pass - no pun intended).

Ditto this. I ran warm before. Now cold all the time. Hands especially. Maybe our metabolisms shutting down. Explains my stall anyway.

Before the surgery I was ALWAYS hot. Summers were terrible. Air conditioning was my friend! But as soon as I got home from the hospital, I was FREEZING. I cranked the heat up to 75 and my husband thought I was crazy. No complaints here.

Please try doing the shakes, we need our Protein like nobody's business. It has been two years since I've had a baked potato (I couldn't eat them with the band). It may have helped me beat the potato desire. What type of shakes have you tried? Since the sleeve the whey Protein Shots have given me diarrhea; also nectar shakes seem to be too 'rich/sweet' for me. I can tolerate Atkins but 10gm of protein isn't worth my time. I like Celebrate 'cake batter' and Bariatric Advantage's 'orange cream', 'chocolate', and 'strawberry'. Have you tried those?

I had my sleeve May 2012, was cold before and am even colder now! My husband is getting sleeved next week. He runs warm and has always considered my cold nature a... weakness, like if I just would make up my mind it wouldn't bother me. I am a little evil, but I CAN NOT wait for him to find out that being cold is not something you can control!!! I want him to be cold too - which does seem a little mean spirited...

      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.
