Having Hot Flashes



Recommended Posts

I am 4 months out and I have been having hot flashes and generally feeling warm lately. Not so bad that I am sweating or anything. It definitely isn't menopause :-) I am even warm at night with the A/C set at 67. Anyone have the same thing?

Wow, I am just the opposite! Cold all of the time!

Hormones, you gotta love em.

The first 4 weeks after surgery I froze. Then the hot flashes started, they lasted about 2 months, and have since stopped. I'll have one every once in a while now, about once a week.

Hope this helps.

Do your hot flashes happen after you eat? I get hot flashes from sugar. If I eat something that has too much sugar, it's like I imagine menopause to be. I get sweaty, my heart beats fast, and I get super hot. 20 minutes later, I'm back to normal. Also, weirdly enough around midnight everynight I get hot for about a half hour, then go back to normal.

I am running warm also. I am one month post-op and it started about a week ago. Figured it was something to do with my body adjusting. Small price to pay for losing 60 pounds...lol

Thank you for this topic, I too have been having hot flashes (I am a little more than 2 months post op) and have been wondering if and how they are related....and thanks @@AvaFern for your observation, I will pay more attention to see if related to eating, although in general I do not consume much sugar. I was optimistially hoping it was my high level of fat burning... :)
