I'm FREEZING and FED UP!



Recommended Posts

I'm not banded yet. will be soon. I'm so freaking hot all the time, washing the dishes over a hot sink has me dripping in sweat. Being cold almost sounds heavenly. I have to keep the house like a meat locker at night so I can sleep. At least after banding I'll save on electricity!!!

Thanks guys. I wonder if it could be ketosis..hmmmm! I drink a lot of V8, tuna, chicken, and salad. Maybe I'm doing Atkins and don't even know it! LOL Oh boy did that diet ever make me mean. I'll talk to my doctor on my next visit.

I also used to be hot all the time. I used to hate summertime with a passion. So this is so out of the norm for me. I dread nighttime because it's so hard to get warm even if I do bundle up. So weird!

I've been cold and now that it is somewhat summer in MT, I'm doing better. I still use the comforter at night while my DH is lying nekked next to me. I invested in lots of lap robes. It has been an adjustment as I've been one to wear t-shirts and bare feet in the winter. Now when I go somewhere, I have to remember layers. I used to never worry abou that.

I get REALLY grouchy when I'm hot. Matter of fact, in the summer, my two sons will warn my husband when he gets home if I'm hot and irritable. If I'm cold, I'm usually perky and happy. This would be a positive thing for me, my kids and my husband! I guess if an attitude adjustment comes with banding it's a win win situation all the way around. They will be so happy!!!

I was freezing also at the start I think it has to do with body fat loss. I do not have the condition anymore, but it was painful. Have you had any doplers completed for blood flow? I had them done b4 banding and all was perfect. Just a thought. Talk to a vascular Dr. maybe.

      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.
