I'm sitting here at my desk at work with my space heater blowing right on me. I have to sit under a blanket on the couch at home. It's especially bar after I've cooled down after working out. Then I feel like a popsicle!

My surgery was December 2013 - And i am still always cold. I have a heater under my desk, wear sweaters, and love it when it is 80 to 85 degrees outside. I love my new life, so it is okay for me to always be cold.

I keep my heat set at 74, have the fireplace and a space heater running and sleep in long johns under my jammies. My husband calls spring/winter/fall his "dry spell" because he isn't getting any. I am NOT taking off a stitch of clothing when I'm always freezing.

I thought I was the only one whose body temperature has dropped! Don't get me wrong :I'll take being cold over hot flashes any day!

For years since surgery, I have been particularly cold. My feet seem to be the coldest. I have used the hair dryer to heat up my feet and shoes at home in a pinch . I wear thick socks and shoes, but still need a heater or heating pad/blanket when I am idle. I too, will trade that for sweating way more pre surgery... But Arizona and Hawaii are looking pretty enticing right about now????????

I've noticed a tremendous difference since my surgery. I was always, always hot! I would have the window open in the wintertime. Not anymore... since my surgery I sleep in pants and a long sleeve night shirt. I am always cold!

Yes! Our A/C at the office is being repaired and its close to 30c in our building if you have a window office. Everyone around me is stripping down to the bare minimum of clothing acceptable at work where as I am just comfy in my long sleeves and dress pants. Love the sun streaming in through my window and with no a/c blowing on me I don't have to wear my heavy sweater. They all think I'm nuts????

A few months ago this question was asked about being cold & there was a posting from someone that eating considerably less carbs is the reason for this. Carbs help heat your body. I think this must be true because I have noticed that when I'm keeping my carbs down under 60g I'm colder. Has anyone else heard this?

Post op with my surgery being 11-4-14 I can advise yes I am always freeZing. It's April and I constantly wear my long sleeve sweaters to work because I know everyone else will be asking to crank up the as while I'm reaching for my jacket. In all reality I'm getting 100lbs down from this time last year so I figure by fall of 2015 and winter I'll be bundled up 24/7. :)

I feel the same always cold. I wonder if it was because some of the weight is coming off and the Fluid intake. I'm just happy it's not the hot flashes that drove me crazy!

      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.
