Cold all the time?

[erinkenny 7]

I'm only 13 days post op and I'm cold absolutely all the time. It started about 2 days post op after my second surgery (complications) and every time I complained the nurses took my temp to make sure I didn't have a fever (I didn't).

At least there I could get a heated blanket, but now that I'm home I'm just freezing!

Suggestions? Will it go away?

My daughter just started a very strict diet due to a food intolerance. About four days in she also was complaining about being cold. Come to find out she was totally missing any good fat in her diet. We ended up making sure we added olive or coconut oil every day. It seems to be a little better.

You kind of adapt but I still get cold faster than anyone else in my office...and once I'm cold, I'm freezing and miserable, there's no 'just a little chilly' for me.

Same here, my doctor said its normal after wls and for most people it doesn't go away...I'm just going to start bringing a sweater to work

Oh yeah ... I'm a walking and breathing Popsicle, as well. Ever since surgery, I turn into an icicle and can't regulate my body temperature while everyone around me sweats in their pants. I have two damn blankets in the living room, at night, I sleep under a military blanket (curtesy of my husband) and still cold as a corpse. Can't win!
