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.

      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.
