15 days post op and freezing!



Recommended Posts

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

I started BEFORE I even had the surgery.. I think maybe for me it's a side effect of rapid weight loss. I lost quite a bit prior to surgery and my body isn't acclimated yet.

I have lost 26 lbs in the last 15 days. I feel great' date=' 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?[/quote']

Just imagine taking a 26lb jacket off that you had been wearing a long time. I was freezing for the first two weeks.

This has been the best side effect ever! I used to get sweaty just blow drying my hair. I don't think I've sweat at all in nearly six weeks!! I need to start exercising so I can break one! :)

People look at me crazy when I walk out of the house with a hoodie on in some of the warm days we have had in Texas in the past few weeks.

I talked to my doctor about this and she said it was that our body does not have to hear up as much due to small amount if calories I'm taking in compared to before also she said my sodium intakes is way less which also heats the body. I stay cold always wearing jackets when I never wore them before

      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.
