It's common when your losing weight! I live in Minnesota, and the below freezing temps have arrived. But I like having layers on..hence the reason I live up here.

I did read few days ago that your body balances out eventually, but not for several months.

I have been told it is normal after surgery as your body diverts energy to healing. I had lap band surgery in 2010 and didn't even out my body temperature for about a year. Am 2 1/2 weeks out with sleeve revision and have moments of feeling frozen :) It does get better, especially once you can move and gain energy after healing.

It's all about burning off the body fat instead of burning up the carbs the carbs you eat. I froze after my lap band in 2007 and here I am again freezing my stuff off! Totally normal in the way the body processes energy and your metabolism. Welcome to the club.

I am still preop , but have lost over 40 pounds on the liquid diet and I am always cold already. It is such a change for me I used to be the 'Shorts year round' guy. I live in Ohio we are already hitting low 30s at night. Big adjustments coming I guess

Yup freezing over here too! I was so cold that I had to research it a little. I've read a couple of things...yup we lost that insulation we are used to and the removal of the grehlin.

I noticed it takes me Alot more work to sweat as well.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
