I have always run hot, night sweats and all but now I get chilled easily. Have to wear socks at home and am all bundled up. I havent lost a huge amount of weight (38 down from my highest of 242) but apparently its enough to make me stop sweating all the time. Now that I think about it, I havent even been sweating when getting ready in the morning. Yay!

I am 52 and was ALWAYS hot! Now, I am always bundled up under a throw or sweater... I guess some of the 48lbs of fat padding was keeping me warm!

I'm pre-op but thought I read somewhere that the loss of ghrelin produced by the part of the stomach removed can make you cold. :huh:

I stopped having a sweating problem. Not even having my long hair down keeps me warm anymore whereas before it would make me so hot!

My doctor told me I would be a lot colder after the surgery. I haven't found it to be true yet. I always have cold feet anyway.

I wore shorts, sleeveless short night-gowns, now I wear long-sleeve pants and shirts, sometimes I get up and put sweatshirts on in bed. I hate socks, even in the winter, now I wear fuzzy socks and I wish there was a place I could get leg warmers. I have never ever been cold in my life, now I'm freezing constantly.

Other than that I feel great and look great, just need to get used to being cold and layering.

I freeze all the time and I used to be hot natured. I have the heat on 75 right now in my office, wearing wool socks, fuzzy lined sherpa boots, a sweater and an undershirt and my feet and hands are freezing. Same everyday. I sit here in a coat too most of the time. As soon as I get home today looking forward to thick pjs and multiple blankets in front of the fireplace :).

Yes! I am always cold. especially my hands and feet. My feet would get cold easily before surgery but never my hands. Now I am always cold. I still sweat while exercising but not as much.

So glad to know I am not alone. I am always cold and hearing so many of you say your experiencing the same thing is comforting.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
