We are in a deep freeze as well. I find myself sitting at my desk at work with my coat on. My wife bought me an electric throw on black Friday and I use it every night when I sit in my recliner.

I feel like I will never be warm again.

I've taken to wearing a light jacket when I go out, and keeping my winter coat with me as backup. Light jacket for me has been an insulated long sleeve shirt, but now it works well for wearing them inside instead of outside.

I have the same thing and described it to my best friend the same way and she understood exactly what I meant about waking up feeling dead. I'm so glad u posted. I just keep piling on more blankets. I heard a woman say on a video say she sleeps in a restraining belt to keep her gut warm. I bought one and wear it out side for security. May try this.

My theory is that our bodies are used to being stuffed with comfy foods all of the time and now we are empty inside and our body is freaking out. My waking up dead feeling lessened after I stopped pain meds too.

Okay guys went for my first doctors visit and i asked him about the cold body feeling. Unfortunately he was baffled he said out of all the patients he has never heard of this or had someone ask him this. He really could not answer but he did tell me what some of you said was to get a heat pad or cover. Sorry guys wish i had more answers. On the plus side i lost 20 pounds since surgery.

Sorry I didn't respond. Restraining belt is a wrap that goes around your body. May be the same as binder. Hope things are better with you. I am having insomnia now that I am off of pain meds. Just want some sleep. I finally tried the bed on day 10 and lasted about three hours.

I chalked this up to surgery meds and anesthesia. I'm freezing right now. I will be living in fleece I see

I was freezing for about the first 5 months. Getting better. Seems to be tapering off and I am now comfortable at about 75 F instead of 85. Was absolutely freezing my tail off for the first 5 months but now I am getting back to normal.. Might have to do with losing 125 Lbs during the first 6 months. Weight plateaued and I am pretty much back to being hot blooded again.
