Am I the only one looking forward to that? ;-) I am always hot. I wouldn't mind putting on a sweater once in awhile if I get cold. There is only so much you can take off when you get hot! Hah

After losing 65 lbs, I have noticed that my hands get cold very easily. Overall, I am now comfortable with the thermostat set 2 degrees higher during the Texas summer heat.

Funny this post is up since the hospital I have been internally freezing! My poor husband had to take me home from hospital in 90 defree weather with the heat blasting in the car. Btw it was a 2 hour drive, It doesnt last long maybe an hour when it hits but its crazy. Last night I went to bed with a hoodie jacket over my pyjamas ATTRACTIVE lol

Im a year out and am always cold. I didn't really start having an issue til i was probably about 6 mos out. I usually always have to have a sweatshirt with me. For example at work my coworkers will complain that its hot in the office and ill have my little heater blowing on me. It sucks but its a little inconvenience for losing 90 lbs.

Yes I was always cold for several weeks after the surgery. Even now, I've lost about 93lbs in 4 monts, I don't sweat as easily as I did before. I barley sweat as a matter of fact. I have basically removed a 93lbs jacket, so yes you will be cold until your body adjusts.

      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.
