Anyone else a lot colder now after losing weight?! I use to love winter now can't stand it sleep with two blankets and heat on 72! Blare the heat in my vehicles and at work in my ambulance! My partner had to put his window down bc of how hot I made it lol feet and legs are the most cold and hands!

I too am freezing! No matter what the temp is outside. Just like you i sleep with several blankets and the heater on. My feet and hands are always cold. I think my family would like to strangle me over my new obsession with the thermostat. Prior to surgery i was always hot and had the AC on and only slept with a sheet and no blankets. I don't understand it at all but don't worry your not alone.

I am still hot most of the time but I always have been. But one thing I have noticed is that once I get cold I can't get warm no matter what I do. So strange.

I am 4 mnd postop and I am cold too!

Have to use lots of blankets in bed to be able to sleep, have been like this from day 1 after gb.

My doc said this is very common for us.

Warm hug!

It comes and goes with me. 1 day I am freezing and sitting with gloves on at my desk (my co-workers think I'm crazy) and the next day I am sucking down popsickles like its the 4th of July. Guess it takes a while for our internal thermostats to even out.

I really hope summer is better for me. I hate summer and sweat like a pig! I always have even when I was thinner. Thanks Dad! LOL

Take an Iron supplement. It helps. I was wrapped up in blankets for the first week post op. adding Iron helped a lot.

Check with your doctor because your Iron might be low. I experienced the same symptoms and had some blood work done, and that's what my doc said was wrong. It helped big time!

      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.
