I've always been one to have a fan in front of me, even in the winter which may seem crazy especially since winter in the northeast where I live is killer! But now I am five weeks post op and for four weeks I have been freezing my butt off piled with blankets and have the heat cranked to 72. We are finally experiencing what so called normal people feel, and I don't like this cold thingy!! Lol

High weight:270

Start weight:252

Weight at day of surgery:232

Current weight:182

I would always be warm. I would wear shorts year round here in Minnesota. 2 months after surgery I'm cold quite a bit and wearing long pants and jackets when I go outside. I'm waiting for my body to adjust itself so I'm not cold all the time.

I froze the first 3-4 weeks after surgery. I still tend to wear multiple layers as a precautionary thing. Better to be too warm and pull off a shirt then too cold and freeze your tuckus off. 8)

Quit complaining! I'm just beginning my journey, and I just busted a major sweat in 40* weather doing light labor, I mean light as in just taking a walk and climbing a ladder or two and I was dripping sweat. Not the sweat type from a work out, but the over weight fatty type sweat.. I cannot wait to be cold, and normal looking

Proudgrammy, I grew up in Syracuse. I still laugh here in Chicago when people start complaining about 2 inches of snow. Where did you have your surgery done? Please message me if you're not comfortable putting it "out there."

I have been wondering about this again, as my thermostat seems to have calmed down a bit. But I am not sweating nearly as much in workouts as I used to. Part of it may be that I'm still ramping up a bit, and not up to speed quite yet. Has anyone noticed that workouts are different?

Or do I just need to kick it up a notch or three?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
