Heather Meyer 103 Posted October 6, 2013 I was just like that..before surgery..i lived in flip flops 365 days a year. I never wore a coat or a sweatshirt in winter. I would literally sweat buckets doing nothing..i would sit on the couch at home and just sweat. I would sweat if i walked, went shopping, walked slowly around a block. I would sweat while sitting in church. I would sweat in the friggen pool while swimming. I would sweat while getting changed out of my bathing suit. And now..... I dont ever sweat anymore. I take hot hot showers and my face doesnt drip with sweat. I walk, i shop, i go for coffee, i go to church, i do everything..without sweating!! In fact i get cold now. I wear coats, jackets, fleece sweatshirts and hoodies. My hands freeze often and i now need to wear socks and shoes. I can swim and not come out of the pool with a face full of sweat..there is no dripping sweat on my face and down my back from a short walk with a friend. Point is: ya just dont sweat doing nothing.. In order to sweat, i need to exercise like run/walk. You will find that this surgery will change your sweaty sticky life forever!! Look forward to the freedom!! 2 Degey! and dropdeadweightdiva reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaye jarvis 751 Posted October 6, 2013 Yes your life will change, before surgery I never even used the heater in my car and as soon as my husband left for work in the morning I would turn the heat off! I didn't even own a winter coat, fast forward 15 months and 133 lbs, I now own many coats, Ugg boots, gloves and scarves, and I now have to sleep in flannel pjs. I'm not complaining tho cause this is so much better than being soaking wet all the time!

KrittyKat 12 Posted October 6, 2013 Sweatshirts? I wear head-to-toe North face. Even my slippers are North face and suitable for 80 below... I am that sad and that cold... Can I just say Madam Reverie that I LOVE your humor! 3 Madam Reverie, dropdeadweightdiva and Fit2btied reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsereno 2,525 Posted October 6, 2013 I'm 2.5 years out. I have a lot of cute sweatshirts, sweaters, gloves, scarves, hats and coats. I warm my blanket in the heater a few minutes if I'm really chilled. And I layer shirts. Without my 100+pundits natural warm suit I almost never sweat.
