I have always been a very warm guy, but since surgery I get cold so easily. I know I am not anemic or running a fever. Just curious if any other guys experienced this?

Since my band and now revision I am always cold. My husband is dying of heat and I have a sweatshirt on, lol! This seems to be a normal thing with bariatric patients.

Seems like fat burns at a lower temp than the junk we had been eating before. :) For about the first year the only place I was warm was the gym or in my bed with footsie pajamas and 3 blankets! But all so worth it,, hang in there it gets better!

I'm 8 weeks out and down almost 40 pounds and I am also freezing all the time! I was always hot before. Today my son had a soccer game and it was 50 degrees out and I felt like it was 20 below!

I experience the freezing also. I think it's normal for us especially since we shed so much weight quickly In the beginning.

Lady's I feel bad for all of you. I am a 30 year old 330 pound guy and last night had to sleep with three extra blankets and the fire place going all night. Oh and the heat was set at 71...LOL!

Good luck staying warm!

I'm 5 months out and freezing all the time. All the time. Prior to surgery i was hot all the time. Very strange change of pace for me. But I've been told it's very normal.

      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.
