YES, YES,YES! I'M FREEZING ALL THE TIME, NOW. It's so weird how some things hurt some and not others. (aka, the straw) I guess that's why the doctor's say don't use it. I've heard a lot of people say that it hurts them, just not me. But, I also never had pain, or nausea, or any problem drinking really. I love that I had this surgery and wouldn't change a thing.

It is logical that we would be more prone to feeling cold after losing fat. It is certainly the case for me. I moved to Florida so I haven't tested it out to the max yet. Polar bears have great layer of fat as one of the ways to survive the brutal arctic weather.

I can remember as a skinny boy in Iowa being miserably cold and as a fat adult hardly needing a coat ...all winter... in Ohio.

The whole straw thing cracks me up. I was given straws in the hospital and still use them. It is in my surgeon's manual that they are fine to use. And yet straws just set some folks off lol. Since day one I've been getting in at least 64 oz (some days closer up 120). My surgeon is thrilled with my progress and so am I.

I too am scared I have 0 control over certain sweets, and chips. I can't stop at just one true I can't eat very much its knowing its there waiting. I have lost a total of 69 lbs, post op I am now under 200 lbs, for the first time in 30 yrs. We just have to encourage each other and contiue our new journey.

I am happy that you can use a straw, but my Dr. told me no straws, and no carbinated Water. It may be that our Drs. are in different areas in the country. My Dr., is in Tyler, Texas. Gmanbat it doesnt get super cold here in Lufkin, Texas the coldest its gotten so far is29 degrees. We have a lot of humidity here, so its a damp cold.

I follow what my surgeon and NUT tell me to do. I figure there's a reason that they have doctorates and I do not.

So true. I'm FREEZING ALL THE TIME NOW! I moved to Georgia from Ohio 4 years ago. Now my heat is constantly set to 73+.

[weeziex2 25]

I'm not trying to cause any drama, if I came off sounding like I was I apoligize to everyone because that was'nt the case. I was just saying that Dr.'s in different places have different protacals that they go by.
