How long does your body take to regulate its temp better?

Im either feeling very hot or very cold. My temp is normal with themometer. Anyone else go through this? Im 6 days post op.

Hi are you still on pain meds? I believe they can cause you to feel warm. I know I was on a generic form of a blood thinner. I was cold all the time. I am off them now and I am still cooler then I have ever been. I never thought I would say I am cold. Things will get better as you go off the post surgery medicines. If it stays a problem make sure you tell your medical doctor. Wish you luck on your journey.

I am 9 days post op (not on any pain meds) and I'm freezing cold all the time. I figure the fact that by this point I was a couple weeks on Clear Liquids only probably contributed as my body didn't have Protein to use for energy. I'm hoping now that I am on full liquids starting today and can have Protein Shakes that will maybe take me from freezing all the time to just cold lol

I had the same experience, and had to have a heating pad for my feet in bed for a week or two. I am doing better now, 3 weeks out things feel more normal.
