Hi.. I'm scheduled for surg 6/28. I have been watching a lot of you tube videos & reading a ton about what to expect. I watched a few videos in which people say that the are always cold since surgery. Is this true? If so, any idea why? I'm constantly sweating as I am 150 lbs overweight & I'm curios if there is any truth to this.

I do not suffer from the coldness so much but many do. (I am almost 1 year post-op and down 120 pounds since surgery / 145 pounds in all). BUT I was just saying earlier this week on another post how nice it is not to sweat all the time anymore! I seriously didn't realize how bad it was until I don't have the problem now. So great....

I'm 2.5 weeks post op and I was shocked when I kept finding myself cold. Before I seemed to always be hot and with little effort I broke out into sweats. I had terrible night sweats too and that hasn't happened at all. What a nice side effect.

I'm a super sweaty person, but since losing the weight I only sweat like a pig during a really hard workout. I used to sweat CONSTANTLY before!

And yes, now I'm always cold ;)

I would sweat walking from my car to the house or getting dressed for work even after I showered. Now that I am 2 months post op, I sweat very little and that makes me happy.

      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.
