I am 2 1/2 weeks out & I am cold all the time. I wear a jacket at home & socks all the time. I have always worn shirts & shorts this time of year but find a need a jacket even when outdoors at 75*. Also is avacado allowed?

OMG, this is happening to me too! I'm a month out from RNY, and I'm cold all the time. I'd set our AC at 80 if my wife and kids wouldn't revolt.

Even on the treadmill, it takes a little bit to even work up a sweat. I guess this is normal?

Not sure about avocado - Sorry

I'm a year post of & have had this issue since the beginning. I have seen several questions concerning this issue & have seen a lot of comments that the reason for this cold feeling is the lower amount of carbs you are consuming. I think this is true because I've noticed on days where I have consumed more carbs (bad on me) I'm not as cold.

I'm only slightly colder than I used to be and I am 1 month, 5 days post-op. I started eating avocado during my pureed/soft food stage, as I got permission from my surgeon. I LOVE avocados. I use a food scale so I make sure I do 1.5oz of avocado, sprinkle some cumin, Frank's Red Hot, and some herb hummus is the rest of the .5 allowed ounces.

I love winter and usually happily get around in short sleeve shirts on 8°C/46°F winter mornings, but today it was 16°C/61°F and I was absolutely freezing.

I guess this is better than sweating like a pig in summer, though...

I have been eating avocadoes since I was on soft food about two weeks ago. I LOVE them! I sprinkle chilli pepper on it and I am going to try it with tuna in place of the mayo prob for lunch today.

I have noticed I seem to be a little colder than norm. I guess its the 25lb sweater that I threw away!

ALWAYS cold!

Good thing I live in the desert...........And I never go anywhere that I do not take a sweater.

At home on the couch watching TV - either have socks and a sweater on or wrapped up in a blanket.

But then would rather trade the 80+ pounds I have taken off for the sweater!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
