Dreamin Again 112 Posted July 10, 2014 Is it true that when I start losing weight I will feel cold? I can't wait for that to happen! (I know be careful of what you wish for lol) I don't think I have worn a winter coat in years - I live in MO so winters get a little chilly. Keeping a fan on at work even in the winter months sure does make people look at you funny. Does anyone have experiences about going from hot to feeling cold after surgery/weight loss to share? Does it last for forever or just while you are losing the weight? Thanks! 1 Pookeyism reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texasmeg 568 Posted July 10, 2014 I've always felt cold - but I'm even colder since the surgery. 1 Dreamin Again reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SherB 220 Posted July 10, 2014 I have not had my surgery but whenever I diet/eat low calories I am freezing cold. That is the only time for me so I am guessing it is probably very common after surgery. 1 Dreamin Again reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted July 10, 2014 Be careful what you wish for! I started freezing about 2 weeks post op. Surgery was 3/6/13. I except when working out or heat of the summer, I'm cold all the time. It's pretty common. There was a big discussion last winter in here somewhere. I always thought it was easier to warm up then cool down. I lived under a heated thrown all fall/winter/spring. Cuddle duds are my best friend. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it hands down with my new health and lease on life. If that's the worst thing, and it is, I am very grateful! Good luck to you! 1 Dreamin Again reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted July 10, 2014 Sleeved 1/4/2012 - cold ever since. I have actually got a sunburn while sitting in the sun to warm up. Last year, a runner from a local subdivision was running through the industrial park where my office is, and passed out due to the heat - I was taking a nap about 60 yards away, cozy-comfortable in my car. My boss has actually asked me to stop napping in the car in the heat at lunch - he is concerned I'm going to "fry your brain or something". 3 Shastasmom, Dreamin Again and SherB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HalloweenBaby24 447 Posted July 10, 2014 I'm excited to feel cold, I love big cuddly sweaters and boots. I want to know what it's like to tuck myself up tight with a book and not sweat between chapters. Unfortunately this past winter I purchased an amazing Steve Madden wool horizontal-zip jacket, that I know won't fit this coming winter after surgery :/ I'm contemplating putting the money in to get it altered. 2 Dreamin Again and Goddardgo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SherB 220 Posted July 10, 2014 I for one cannot wait to actually try on a pair of dress boots. Not once have I ever worn a pair. They are too tight on my calf. 3 Texasmeg, HalloweenBaby24 and Dreamin Again reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HalloweenBaby24 447 Posted July 10, 2014 @@SherB Same here!! I've never been able to wear dress boots because they don't fit over my calves. I wear those off brand Ugg's lol. 2 Dreamin Again and SherB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger Snaps 1,323 Posted July 10, 2014 I remember reading on a board somewhere that one reason you feel cold is that your body conserves energy for vital organs, so there is less going on out in the extremities... your core is taking all the energy. Not sure if it's true but I know I'm feeling cooler one month out from surgery (and not just because I've dropped weight and feel "cooler")... 2 Texasmeg and Dreamin Again reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin Again 112 Posted July 18, 2014 Good to know! Thank you all for you replies. i would much rather be cold than hot and sweaty. In my opinion it has always been easier to warm up than it is to cool down Have a great weekend everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
