I am 7 1/2 weeks out, and I am constantly cold now. Especially my hands and feet. I was always hot before and active. I even wear sweaters and warm socks when it's almost 80 here

Is anyone else only a few days post op and can't get warm enough? I never get cold, but ever since the surgery Monday I started to get so cold! I really started to notice it today! Especially my hands and feet!

I was. It is very common. Most of the blood from out extremities is being diverted to help with healing.

First week I was freezing and our place was 82 F deg... I kept taking my temperature too, but no fever. Second week was much better.

As long as you are just cold and don't have a fever, it is likely to be related to your metabolism and your body adjusting to the dramatic weight loss plus the reduction in fuel to burn to keep you warm.

I'm just under a year out now and I'm almost permanently cold, that being said I'll take that minor inconvenience as everything else is good

      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.
