Cold & Hot & Low Blood Pressure



Recommended Posts

It's almost 70 degrees all the sudden I felt so cold like if it was 40 degree. I started cooking. Everything warmed up. I felt so hot. After dinner was over I was still warm. I went to check my blood pressure it said 108 over 84.

Have anyone experience this? I felt like manaupause. I was shaking that's how cold I was.

I seem to be really intolerant to cold lately. Most nights I have to put on socks and sleep with two blankets on. It's gets pretty chilly here at night, like 55 or 60 but it feels absolutely freezing to me!

I think your blood pressure is probably ok.

I went to the dr today and mine was 106/61 I asked if that's low and was told it was good. I was surprised by that.

I wish I would have asked about being cold all the time but I forgot.

When is your next postop appointment? My advice would be write down everything that you have a question about. I should have done that.

Good idea. I will write it down. My post up appointment is next week.

It's from not eating and losing weight.

That's what my hubby said he thought he had to call the ambulance that's how bad I was shaking. My teeth was making noise. WOW! first time that happen since forever. I never experience that before.

Welcome to the cold, it's a long term side affect of the surgery. For me peronally anything under 75 is freezing and PA always seems to be under 75. When you get the shakes get hubby to crawl under te balnket with you, you'll warm up fast :) Carry sweaters and jackets everywhere, you'll need them. I'm four years out, the cold feeling never goes away or improves.

I'm freezing all the time!! I told my dr he said It's due to the quick weight loss and I would level off eventually.

But you'll be buying fashionable sweaters from the sales rack of the skinny department. :-)

For me it's warm shoes and something on my neck (scarf or sweater) and I'm ok even at the office. Gloves in the winter are a must.

      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.
