I'm cold all the time as well. I used to sweat like mad over the summer - I'm really interested to see how I tolerate the heat now.

Pre-surgery, the only part of me that ever got cold were my arms and hands. Now I have to wear theramal underwear to keep warm. :-) But I wouldn't go back to the old me for nuthin!

I am cold most of the time...sweatshirts and big socks are wardrobe staples for me. Pre-surgery, I was always hot.

Presurgery I was always hit and would sweat at work if I got busy... Embarrassing. Now I'm always freezing! It's Skinny bitch problems, lol

This is something I hope happens to me. It's so hot in Henderson NV. (Las Vegas) I hate summers here.

I'm really looking forward to cheaper electric bills this summer. It's so much easier to warm up than it is to cool off!

I was wondering what the summer will be like if I will be hot or if the heat will feel good!

After surgery I am always cold too... Dr says my Iron is low and suggests I take an iron supplement but of course I don't. I'd rather be cold than constipated I know TMI but true lol.

I'm in Vegas too and since surgery I'm constantly cold too. Definitely agree and hope that it's still the case when the spring and summer heat shows up :)

Cold all the time...all the time. Socks to bed, hoodie in the house and long sleeve shirts to sleep in. Light bill is outrageous because I have to crank up the heat. Pretty sad that I want a hot flash.

I called myself a "walking furnace" before the surgery, always roasting hot in the summer, and always warm in the winter.

I'm a month post-op tomorrow, and I cannot BELIEVE how often my fingers and nose are freezing cold and I always seem to need a "blankie" when I'm home on the couch watching TV or something. It's amazing and funny to me how that works.

Also, in slightly related news, I have found through my workouts that I barely sweat now, whereas before I'd break a sweat just walking across a room. I wonder if the struggle to get as much Fluid in as possible has to do with this, or if it's another component of our altered internal thermostats?

Interesting indeed.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
