Freezing ...

[Lisa_85 118]

Since Surgery (3 Weeks) I find myself freezing at night. Where I need to have 2 heavy blankets on (Long Sleeve Shirt, PJ bottoms & socks) an I can never seem to get warm! My feet freeze during the day. I was always the one that was hot, you could feel heat coming off me. Is this normal?

I'm about 3 weeks out as well. I am always cold too. For some that has commented about this before, it's their new norm. I used to wear my sandals 365 days a year, snow and all. I am wearing shoes and socks now ????

I thought how can my body go from one extreme to another!

I am 7 weeks post op and I am still freezing all the time. I was just like you and was always the hot one, always had my fan blowing on me at work. Now I have my heater blowing on me. It's crazy the difference!

I'm almost 5 months out and still have "cold" days. I sleep with 3 blankets, long sleeve shirt and pajama pants and STILL turn on the electric blanket. Some days are worse then other but I have found if I let my self get really cold it's almost impossible to warm back up.

I personally didn't start getting cold until I started really losing weight but being cold is my new norm. This is coming from someone that used to break a sweat just cooking Breakfast. Now, it is not uncommon for me to have on thermals or long johns under my scrubs or jeans.

I was cold at first, but it balanced out. I am still a lot cooler than in the past, but not freezing all the time.

I'm 3 weeks out and wear so many layers. I also end up sleeping in my Ugg slippers b/c fuzzy socks don't quite do the trick. I walk twice a day for 20 min & that's the only time I start shedding layers!

Around 4 months out, I started having a more normal temperature. Still run more on the cool side, but to be expected with 130 lbs less of fat on my frame. It is REALLY nice in the summer time however not breaking a crazy sweat everytime I go outside.

The first 4 months I was cold all the time...even in Florida and Texas in the summer time.

Same thing for me. 6 weeks out and I'm cold all the time almost. And definitely at night. My wife sleeps hot and I always used to. But I now have an extra blanket folded in half over only my half of the bed! And we're constantly fighting with the thermostat haha. My assumption is that I'm losing fat insulation which is a good thing

2.5 months out and cold all the time. My doc told me to start expecting it at my one month appt.

I freeze all the time. Had to buy a little heater for my office.

My feet are cold ... Often.

I have gone so far as to take the hair dryer and warm up my ugg boots or slippers before wearing.

I have electric heating pads in 2 spots that I use daily, and an electric heating blanket on my bed.

It is inconvenient, but I like it better than sweating. My take is that all the insulation of fat is almost gone.

I also note I get colder if I don't eat much that day.

Still, I prefer being healthy over being warm.... Spring is around the corner ????
