I used to be warm all the time, but now that I have lost 80 pounds, I find that I am always cold, even though it may be 70 degrees outside! I get chilled easily. I am sure it is due to the weight loss, but I wondered if anyone else has the same symptoms!

I only stayed cold the first 2 months and then it kind of stabilized. I no longer freeze all the time.

I've read articles suggesting that grehlin not only drives appetite, but that it also helps to regulate body temperature....so maybe that's part of it too?

It is very common. Not to worry, it gets better with time. As your weight levels out you will be warmer again.

I like how you worded that, "as your weight levels out." I feel like most of my weight now is in my lower abdomen, thighs, and ankles, even though I have lost inches in the first two. He tells me (in so many words) that gravity pulls your weight down. Hoping that more walking will help stabilize the "weight distribution!" :)

      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.
