Experiencing extreme cold?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. Has anyone been experiencing extreme cold post-op? If so, has the doctor explained to you why? I mean besides the obvious of having less padding?

I've been do cold it sometimes hurts.

Any tips or suggestions?

Buy a case of "hotties" they are great for cold hands & feet ... And get used to it because you are going to be cold for a long long time to come!

Make sure you are getting your Iron in. That can cause coldness too.

I'm always freezing. Al-ways. I just have a jacket in the car constantly due to it. Drink hot herbal tea to stay warm internally and it helps get Fluid in. Starbucks has an awesome calm (camomile) tea ;]

I am much colder than befoe surgery. Where a robe all day. And If I go out and get cold, wow takes forever to get warm again. It is like you are cold all the way to your bones. If my incisions were all healed I would sit in a warm bath. But that will have to wait for a little longer. And you just know when you take a warm shower you are going to be freezing before you get dressed.

I am cold all the time - I now wear sweaters inside my home which I never did before. I assume it is because of the weight loss.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
