planetheather 137 Posted December 30, 2013 OK, I'm of two minds here. One mind is saying "Well crap. It doesn't go away??" The other one is cheering that I have company because my husband (who is beyond supportive in any other way) thinks I'm insane. He runs the fan at night and I've added a wool blanket from Iceland to my side of the bed. Bless all of you who mentioned Cuddle Duds, getting my credit card and Amazon prime account "warmed up" right now! And yes, I woke up cold before the real weight loss set in but that's often a side effect of anesthesia so I didn't think about it at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ribearty 544 Posted December 30, 2013 I bought some cuddle duds microfleece and have to say I am disappointed in them. I am still cold. Maybe I didn't buy the right kind. I did get these on Amazon and love them. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GVM0HWM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You do need to order a size larger than what you wear, which when you're trying to lose weight isn't what we want to do.

ribearty 544 Posted January 6, 2014 I wore the thermals I bought link in post #32 today when I went outside to shovel snow. They kept me warm. It was 11 but felt like -8 with wind chill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmVSG13 0 Posted January 14, 2014 Oh my gosh! I thought it was just me, but apparently not! My hands and feet are constantly freezing. Like the bottom part of my nails on my hands are blue all the time and even with socks and tennis shoes on my feet are freezing. I even went out and bought a heated mattress pad because I couldn't fall asleep at night because I was so cold. I've always been warm blooded and the type to just wear a sweatshirt out in the winter(I live in CA) but I'm having to bundle up with gloves and a scarf. I hope my body temperature readjusts. I guess I would rather be cold than hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
staceyp 29 Posted January 14, 2014 Always cold...wear jackets all day even when I can use a blanket. I have actually been working in my computer in gloves...kinda hard to type. I also have a very warm fleece robe so I wear that. Lot over my clothes at home... Gotta look up this cuddle duds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeanZ_RN 378 Posted January 14, 2014 For working at the computer you might want to get some fingerless gloves. They leave just your fingertips out. 1 staceyp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlosmile 6 Posted January 17, 2014 So glad to know I'm not the only one! Pre-op I could sweat so easily because I would get hot really quick but post-op, even immediately after the surgery I was freezing. I will note that my blood pressure dropped significantly during surgery and continues to be much lower than it was prior so I'm thinking that is what has caused it for me? Who knows!

Ava324 413 Posted August 12, 2014 I know this is an old thread, but I actually had a co-worker ask if I was okay the other day. My nail beds were very blue, and my lips had a light blue tint. I was absolutely freezing, despite a sweater and 4 cups of hot herbal tea. I happened to have a follow-up already scheduled with my general practitioner the next day and brought it up. My O2 levels were perfect, and my actual finger tips had perfect capillary responses. Not a circulation problem. Basically she thinks that my body is diverting energy to my core/organs, because of the extreme calorie deficit (I get about 500 - 700 a day and workout a lot). I live in Louisiana, and it is freaking hot and humid during the summer. First the first time ever, I am glad! I often walk/jog in the early morning before work, and people will say "I bet you can't wait for it to cool down." Oh yes, I can. I am dreading even Louisiana's mild fall and winter! Last winter, after surgery was easy, because I still had a lot of insulation, and I wasn't outside much then. I don't know how I'll bring myself to get out of bed and go jog at 5:45am when it's cold outside... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
