Experiencing extreme cold?



Recommended Posts

I have stayed cold post op. I went back to work yesterday and the heat in my classroom is not working. I was freezing all day... With my coat on. Today I will wear hat, gloves, and scarf in case it is still broken!

It can also be because of our low calorie diets. Calories create heat.

I have been freezing ever since the surgery too! I wear socks, Pj's, Robe and sometimes even a hat and gloves in my house! I spent my christmas money at LLBean buying a new winter coat and hat! At work, I had the tech's adjust my office temp to 76 degree's! Still cold! Today I am wearing a Camisole, long sleeve shirt, sweater, corduroy pants and Ugg boots. Oh well, can't wait for summer which I used to HATE because I was always so hot!

I get cold a lot! I've had to buy a lot of fuzzy socks and carry an extra jacket or sweater with me. Thankfully, my work is always close to 80, so that's the one place that I stay warm, lol!

First time to wear heavy sweatshirts at home. I now wear socks all the time. And the first winter in years to catch a very bad cold too

I guess that's a side effect of surgery, because I use to be hot all the time now I wear gloves to bed and my heater was broke over Christmas and had to wait until 2 days ago to get it fixed. I couldn't move I was so cold. Maybe once we maintain our weight it will get better

Please ladies and gents. Up your Iron. Being extremely cold isn't good for you

How are your Iron levels? I was anemic pre-op due to Vitamin deficiency, so I know that feeling!

      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.
