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.

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!

      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.
