You lucky dogs! I wish I was cold all the time. I'm sposed to be - I have hypothryroidism. I just moved to So Ca 2 mths ago (from Or) and it's averages the last month have been 75-80. I sleep with the window open too (88 yr old FIL keeps the thermostat at 83) and shorts.

Wish I was cold....

Usually i am "the hot one" and i do not mean looks -wise!! After my surgery 12/10/13, I have been FREEZING! I am typing this w/ gloves on! My surgeon said this was normal. Anyone else? Also, after many nights of going to bed w/ flannels, a hat and gloves, six blankets ( such a gorgeous site when you add in my C-Pap), my sister told me about something that has made me soooo happy! I am now the proud owner of a heated mattress pad! OMGAWD - what a difference! Run to the store now and get one if you too are cold!

Same here! I have the heat on 72 and a portable heater blowing on me and I'm still cold. I was also the hot one, sweating in December. I sit in my recliner now with a big blanket pulled up to my chin. I used to sleep with just a sheet in all the months but January and February...I have now rounded up every extra blankie in the house and I'm sleeping under them. I can barely move from their weight....LOL. From the other replies this sounds pretty normal. I'm sure the lizard-women I work with will be happy not hear me say "dang, it is HOT IN HERE". :-)

I'm killing the hubs because I'm always cold and he is sweating but he has been a champ and left the fans off and heat up. Has anyone else had trouble sleeping? I sleep 4 hours tossing and turning the whole time and then can't get back to sleep. Anyone have the same issue? Before surgery I could sleep 10-12 hours at night!! I'm 7 days post op.

I am the guy who always turned the heat down. Or was asking my wife if she moved the thermostat? Since my sleeve surgery on 12/23 I am the one who is freezing! Seems the tables have turned.

I live in the north where we have a beautiful blanket of snow covering the ground. Last night while waiting to ring in the new year at home with the family, I was wearing sweat pants, a long sleeve t-shirt, sweatshirt, socks and fleece slippers. I even covered up with a blanket for good measure.

I may have to become a snowbird at the ripe old age of 43!

Happy new year everyone!

      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.
