Schmincke 118 Posted March 18, 2014 It seems to be two things 1 our basal metabolic rate has dropped because of our calorie restriction 2 we have a lot less insulation Good news - trying to warm up burns calories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJaney 775 Posted March 18, 2014 Freezing as I sit with a fleece blanket and space heater blowing on me. Brrr. 1 ElyQuint reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PokeyJo 47 Posted March 19, 2014 Very glad to know I'm not the only one. Thank you all for your replies! I work for an AC Company and the joke in the office is I've lost my R value (insulation). lol! Truck8595 - I've also found I don't sweat anywhere near as much as I used to. I actually LIKE getting into the car after it's been baking in the sun all day. 2 ElyQuint and elfnow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cprince1975 62 Posted March 21, 2014 Cold for first time in my life! I was always the hot fat chick so it's all new to me. Everyone I know thinks it's weird but just another change that comes with this surgery. I will take a little cold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mamanimh14 2 Posted March 21, 2014 I had to get daily injections to thin my blood for one month after surgery. Was having hot flashes and night sweats. Not any more! I used to freeze the rest of family. Not anymore! Glad I'm not the only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SliminDownThick 69 Posted March 23, 2014 CAN NOT WAIT to be cold. And not sweaty and fat. :-) it's the worst and pit spots. I work in surgery and feel sweaty often. Will totally enjoy being cold :-)))))) good side effect for this chub that is always hot. Yay! Surgery date early may. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElyQuint 446 Posted March 23, 2014 I just read on pintrist that putting pantiliner on your shirt where your pits are will prevent pit stains. I remember as a sweaty fat girl leaving a sweaty butt mark on the metal chairs in school. Really could have used pintrist then. God I hate being fat. 1 SliminDownThick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steph W-O 75 Posted March 23, 2014 When I first saw this thread a week or two ago, I thought you all must be exaggerating....it's winter, after all. Well, ho hum, I now keep the heat 3* higher than I used to while layering sweat pants, sweatshirts, thick socks and blankets! And, I'm 231, so certainly not thin. I wonder if this is just part if the losing phase or if it lasts. Stay warm, everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimmac 14 Posted March 23, 2014 Wow, I can hardly believe I am posting about being cold. I am only 6 days post op and I am mostly cold. I am having some problems with hot flashes but at 56 I think it might take me a bit to recover from surgery. I usually wore only a light jacket all winter. Now I have a heavy sweater on all the time.
