I was sleeved on August 20th 2014, and I freeze so easy. It can be 75 degrees outside and if there is a breeze, I'm freezing. Had anyone else had this issue? Does your body regulate itself? How long does it take?

In the pre op diet and the first month post op I was cold much of the time. I would be bundled up in a blanket most evenings. After I started solid food the cold spells gradually went away.

We were told in the pre op classes that it's very common...I know I am always cold...I always have a sweatshirt handy. I am 11 weeks out and it hadn't gotten any better, but like you I am hoping it will.

It may be as simple as less fat=less insulation.

I had lap band surgery 4.5 years ago. I'm hoping to revise to the sleeve. But in the past I was always hot. Probably since I've lost weight, I won't even think about wearing shorts unless it's more than 75 out. I am cold a lot. I still am hot in the summer, but I'm definitely colder than I used to be

9 months post op. Freezing ALL the time. I believe this is my new life. An electric blanket on my bed, an electric throw on my chair a heater under my desk at work, all while my husband has the AC on. Lol.

      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.
