Heat/ sweating soo much



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Currently being over weight I sweat like crazy. This is so uncomfortable especially in the summer. Can anyone tell me do they notice after having the Vsg surgery do they sweat as much ?

Thanks

Josie

No as a matter of fact most of us are freezing afterwards, it's awesome!!!

The ghrelin hormone in your stomach plays a small part in body temp regulation, so I've read.

May be one of the reasons...

This is the first time in oh...FOREVER that I am not sorry to see winter go! I am freaking freezing all the time. I sit with an electric throw and crawl in to a warm electric blanket.

It sure didn't see that coming! But Come on summer!

My husband laughs at me all the time now because I have always been so "hot natured" griping if anyone said they were cold.... Now I wear fleece pajamas and socks around the house complaining abou how cold it is and I have to crawl in to a warm bed with my electric blanket (which I never would have tolerated before)! He thinks it is hilarious and now I regret all those mean things I said about people freezing and how they could put on more clothes if they just would. Sometimes, I can't get enough layers to stay warm! It is rather funny!

I had to laugh a little when I read your post as I am FREEZING all the time now. I even carry a sweat shirt in the summer now for when I get chilled. I dress in layers and as soon as I get to warm I take off a layer but in an hours time I putting the layer back on.

For me it's awesome to be cold.. I was always overly hot and sweating when I gained the weight, even in winter :( after the surgery I went and bought the most luxurious cashmere cardigan. I love that thing it feels so nice to wear layers and feel good. just yesterday I was running around all day and at the end of the day I was still wearing it! on a semi warm California day!

Happy!

I try to take it as a positive - getting cold easily. It's only my hands and feet at the moment - still too much "insulation" on my stomach and thighs. I am looking forward to shivering like a Chihuahua on too much caffeine! B)

Someone I know was told by a doctor that people who lose a great deal of weight often get cold easily because all the blood vessels that used to feed their larger self are close to the surface, no longer buried in layers of fat, so our blood cools more quickly.

I used to break out in a sweat when I peeled an orange. Now I am down 110 lbs. I am below my goal weight and cold all the time

      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.
