15 days post op and freezing!

[rachel marie 42]

I have lost 26 lbs in the last 15 days. I feel great, a little tired but I am freezing cold. I am taking my Vitamins and trying to meet Protein and Water requirements. Lets just say I do better with protein than water. Lol! Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm sitting here in sweats, socks, hoodie.. my boyfriend is in a tank and tighty-whities. I'm FROZEN. Last summer was soooo hot here in the city, I maybe this year won't feel so unbearable.

Glad to know I'm not the only one sitting here under multiple blankets with layers on!!

[Colemon70 87]

Me too! I'm always hot (the extra padding) I have 4. Shirts 2 pair socks pants big blanket and a heating pad!!

Yeah, my husband sleeps with a sheet and I slept with 4 blankets and a space heater and was still cold. Finally i just broke down and bought a 0° wilderness sleeping bag and have been sleeping in that every night. Lol

Same thing for me for a couple months after. Finally about the 10 to 12 week mark I started feeling back to a normal temp, now I'm fine but we've had a couple of warm days already this spring and it hasn't bothered me like heat has before. But I'm also not shivering cold like I was right after surgery.

I have always been hot, freezing everyone else out... Well not after surgery, I have been fully dressed everyday, including jacket or sweatshirt and sometimes a blanket. My husband was sure something was wrong. But 8 weeks out I'm not back to normal but able to got without jacket in the house.

I have been crazy cold! All I can say is whoever invented the heated throw has my undying gratitude forever!

So, do you immediately feel this cold in the hospital right after surgery or does this happen after you get home? Trying to figure out what I may need at the hospital to keep warm if its immediately. Thanks

[rachel marie 42]

Thanks everyone! I'm glad I'm not alone or having some weird side effect. Lol

So funny you guys I had that problem for the first month or so postoperative- but now it's gone I'm currently three months out. Everywhere I went I was wearing a jacket! So, apparently it's pretty common

For me, it started in the hospital directly after surgery but I think it was fear and the drugs. They put lots of blankets on me then I was fine as long as I stayed bundled up. It really got worse after I got home. Just couldn't get warm enough but truly I think the heat from the heated throw on my tummy area helped with the pain. So it was good. It's 65 degrees here and I am wrapped up in my throw on medium. My pup loves

it too! At night we are like peas and carrots under that throw!
