My thermostat is broken

[kimk1999 450]

I'm about 7 weeks post op and lost about 25 lbs. I know the weather isn't helping this issue but I'm either burning up or freezing cold. I know when I was skinnier I was always cold. The weird part is more or less when I'm cold I mostly feel it in my legs and feet. I would say it's almost a burning cold.

Is this normal with weight loss this quickly? Should I go to my primary or back to my surgeon? I don't feel like there's anything majorly wrong just curious of your experiences.

I don't know but I am COLD ALL the time! My husband thinks it's hilarious. I've been wearing multiple layers of clothes and sometimes I even have to put my coat on and wear it around the house to keep warm

I used to always run hot. It was quite embarrassing. I have noticed since surgery that I get cold very easily too.

As you lose, you will get cold because you don't have much fat to keep you warm. But, that being said, it has been cold for Florida. The wet weather has not helped either. I have been running around with a sweater most of the time, too!

I was ALWAYS hot...even in the cold cold winter...NOT ANYMORE!

On the flip side, my hubby is hoping since my "temperature change" that the central air will not have to be so darn cold this summer in the house...LOL....time will tell!

And since its so cold, icy and snowy in NY I'm looking forward to testing it out! BRRRRRRRRRR

Go Back to your PC doctor have them chekc your Thyroid levels it's the Thermostat Regulator for our bodies, your level might be off due to weight loss?

Hope this helps.

I had to buy a pile of turtlenecks & sweaters. Hubby alway teases me & tells me I need to gain some weight. LOL

Of course this winter has been much colder for much longer than normal anyway, but I am absolutely frozen to the core when I'm anywhere other than home! At work, at restaurants, in my vehicle, and most definitely outside! I'm not complaining (much) but at the same time I really hope my body gets used to the weight loss by next winter!
