Okay, I'm 15 days out vsg and I just can't get warm! I've heard that you get chilly quicker but I'm constantly cold! Anyone else just couldn't keep warm after?

I have that problem too. Seems like year round I'm wearing a jacket and gloves at work. I've recently got myself an electric blanket I use at work now. I'm not sure if my temperature problems are due to the weight loss strictly or also due to anemia and thyroid problems.

I thought it was only me. I am freezing all the time now. I noticed it a week after my surgery.

I didn't feel that right away, but I certainly do now. More so that the weather is getting chilly. I have to make sure I have a light jacket or something to wear as another layer in the office. brrr.

this is one side effect i am looking forward to, and my boyfriend even more! i'm ALWAYS hot now, and i keep the thermostat down to 67 all year round. my poor guy has to sleep with so many blankets, and i sleep without any. it will be good to meet him halfway at the least! :)

      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.
