Cold intolerance



Recommended Posts

I'm also cold...even in California. Long pants slippers. Shirt and jacket. Heating pad(my best friend) and a blanket. And hubby in t-shirt and shorts. All this just to sit and watch a tv show with him I do now use an electric blanket at night because I can't get into a cold bed and warm it up like I used to. One of the ONLY things I truly is about my fat!

I'll take that California kind of cold!! Its 12 degrees going down to 3 brrrrr

I wear a winter scarf and sweatshirt at work and I am still cold. I was actually was tested to see if I was anemic last time I saw my Doctor and when he gave me the results he said "yup, just as I thought (at which point I thought the worst) no anemia". "You're cold because well its cold and you've lost well over 250lbs of insulation. I recommend you put more layers on".

Thanks Doc...any chance you could give me a prescription to go to St Thomas for a couple of months out of the year?

I just ordered some hothands mittens with overnight delivery. I literally can't function because my right hand feels like I'm walking around holding a bag of ice. next week I may order the heated socks for my frozen feet. and this is all inside! the heating pad and I have a very close relationship. I've had this problem for years, but it's extremely bad this year. (one year out from surgery)

      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.
