Brrrr! Freezing! (and loving it!)



Recommended Posts

Before I lost weight I was never cold; I was always warm/hot. No, cold is not the most comfortable situation, but to me, it is a celebration of change! I would rather wear a jacket, sweatshirt or even a coat (hardly EVER wore a coat before!) than almost 50 extra pounds for warmth! Besides, now I can sit in a ball on the sofa, reading or watching tv, with my feet under me and my knees drawn up because my belly is no longer in the way...as much. lol

Any other 'weird' NSV's? :P

Made me grin, :rolleyes: ! that was so me the 1st winter after weight loss. Actually, in air conditioning, etc. I was always cold. our body will adjust, we humans can do that! i can sit mostly, now, without a blanket, and I don't "have" to have a sweater all the time. But, my hubby and I keep the air conditioning on 78/79 during the summer, and heat at 75/76 during the "winter" in Florida. Karen..aka.kll724

Haha, I'm always cold, too! I guess that's what happens when we lose all our insulation! :D

I have a very physical job and always turn into a hot sweaty mess. It's so embarrassing. Already, I can feel the difference. I don't seem to be sweating as much. I can't wait to be freezing!

      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.
