Freezing feet and hands



Recommended Posts

Hi All, now that I am close to or at goal I find that as winter approaches I am absolutely freezing! Fingers and feet turn white when they get cold. Anyone else have this issue? This happened in the past when I was thin but it seems absurd, it's not like I had that much fat on my extremities! It's not even November and I'm in fleece pjs, fleece sheets, 2 blankets, and a quilt, and wearing socks to bed! Husband is not thrilled;) . It doesn't help that we have an old drafty farmhouse that we keep at 62 so we don't spend every penny on heating oil! Sigh. Annie

I live in Texas and I keep a sweater from October till April. I have been cold every since I lost my weight, But it helps with the electric bill in the summer!

Oh I am very intolerable to the cold....need a electric blanket when I'm watching TV....

Guess that's a trade off after loosing all the insulating Walrus Blubber....but I rather bee skinny and cold than fat and warm....

A hot water bottle in bed at night works wonders. And it actually stays hot all night and is much more economical than an electric blanket. You're all going to laugh, but jammies with feet- yes they make them for grown ups.

Being chilled is one of the only things I miss my old fat insulation for. I have heating pads in the front room and in bed and electric blanket also.

Rather have those than sweat like the old days❤

im at the end of menopause and suddenly have gone from years of being too warm and hot flashing to being much cooler and wearing a stocking cap most of the time and thick socks and a sweater ! I also wear a pretty scarf every day, this keeps my body temp more regular.A co worker told me that when she lost a large amount of weight she went from hot to cold too, but eventually her body adjusted back to normal.

I hope you're right about going back to being warm. I sit in the house with a scarf wrapped around my neck. My feet are always cold with fur slippers on.

      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.
