Hot all the dang time!



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery on Nov 13th. I'm 6' 290 lbs and burning up all the time! I sweat like crazy and it drives me nuts. Have any of you experienced relief from this when losing weight?

Oh yeah. As a matter of fact, about 6 months out, I started being cold all the time. And I'm not talking just cold, but so cold my wife wouldn't let me touch her. She was always on me before surgery to warm her up, but then ...

That lasted about a year and now I am relatively balanced in the heat department. Sometimes a little cool, sometimes a little hot. I would like to consider myself "normal" now in that department.

I was always hot and sweaty took me so long to cool off after entering buildings. That was before surgery. Now I'm as cold as a fridge. I always bring a jacket and my fingers are like icicles. My surgeon says it's quite normal I really thought I had anemia for a while.

I will throw a huge party if this goes away. It's probably the number one stressor in my life right now. I wear a suit and when I walk into a business I can't be all sweaty and nasty. I actually try to plan meetings where it is cool. Crazy..

I have been the same pre op but now since loosing 70lbs life is much cooler. I used to hate Summer or just heat period I would be standing in my own pile of sweat and nothing was ever cold enough. Now I often freeze to death because I have lost my Water cooler stomach..... I was 316 Im down to 245 lbs in just 2 months. I hope you have the same results.

Same! Before I was so disgustingly sweaty - it was embarrassing. A few times I would break out in sweat, like at a wedding or party and I would be drenched all over. Almost immediately after surgery I have been really cold - even more than my wife. I am the one turning on the heater. I sleep with my electric blanket on - and I live in CA!

Wasn't that worst! I do that and it's so uncomfortable and so embarrassing. I'll do anything to get over that feeling.

I was hot all the time as well pre-op but really didn't sweat much unless I exercised. Since the surgery, I'm a little cooler now, but I wouldn't say I'm cold all the time......wish I was.

What you're gonna notice after losing some weight is that you feel colder in places you were once comfortable.

if you are hot then you are dehydrated and you need to drink more Water. it happens just after surgery as well. Drink more water, it works.

unfortunately I am not feeling colder. on the plus side i tolerate the heat much better and dont sweat as early or as much and cool down faster, but i still like a very cold office and home. My feet do feel colder but that is about it. HOpefully the window of opporutinity has not closed and it will come. My wife and i are about 6 degrees apart from our comfort zones and it woudl be nice to narrow that a bit.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
