I was sleeved on 3rd February, I am doing really well and have only been sick once after eating tuna!. I was normally always hot and even in winter I could wear shorts and tshirts indoors. This is not the case now, indoors I have found hat I need to wear socks, long trousers and sometimes 2 tshirts. Whenever I go to bed the electric blanket can be on but my feet are still freezing cold. Please tell me that it's not just me and it gets better xx ????

I was sleeved on the 9th. I've been told the coldness is a side effect of surgery. Last night I had a heating blanket plus 2 more blankets.

I was sleeved on 2/4 but when I'm cold it's been like 0 degrees outside. Sometimes I have to climb into my bed to warm up but I also sleep in a summer gown all year and do get toast warm in my bed.

Perfectly normal after surgery. I live in Florida and I'm cold most of the time as well.

We also feel colder because of our new, slower metabolisms. And that's not something that will ever fully resolve.

This normal after surgery. The layers that use to keep us warm are gone. We must get use to it. I'll take a sweater over my old fat!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
