I know this has been discussed before ...

But DANG with always being cold!

Saturday night hubby and I went to the dirt track races ... it was in the 40's ... I swear to God it took me 2 days to warm up! I was chilled to my bone marrow I swear ...

Every single day I wear my coat at work ... WITH my heater on ... and my toes are still cold ... along with my fingers ...

Geesh!

Who knew ( I mean obviously someone knew ) ... That our extra weight actually kept us THAT warm!

Like I said ... I know we've all discussed this before ... But I had to get this off my chest ... again.

I was always cold even when I was fat. Now it's worse! Leave my space heater running under my desk all day long at work. Stay under a blanket at home. Wear my coat or a hoodie at restaurants and movies. I feel like I'm never warm.

I've actually spent time scouring the internet for ideas on how to keep my fingers from turning purple while I use my keyboard and mouse at work... any gloves thin enough to type with wouldn't be warm enough. :(

ive seen gloves that have little hats on them ... you can flip them over and button them to the back of your hand so you can use your finger tips to type, etc ..

I actually ALMOST bought a pair ... they looked pretty snug on the hands as to not interfere with the keys ...

Sounds like whoever invented them ... will be rich from us bariatric patients! :)

My key to warmth is layers. I always wear a tight tank top, no matter the temperature. When it's cool, I layer on CuddleDuds. Look them up! They have three thicknesses to choose from and when it's really cold, I wear two sets under my jeans and sweater. If my core is warm, and I'm wearing socks, my hands don't go numb.

Hell. At least I'm thin enough to wear layers under my jeans!!

@LipstickLady I never heard of a Cuddle Dud ... That is on my Amazon list of things to check out ...

Thank you for the hint !! :)

Maaaaybe... I should buy bigger shoes and wear 3 pairs of socks!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
