Ain't even skinny yet



Recommended Posts

As it says, not there yet. I've lost 76lbs since January. I'm at 215lbs and wear a 16w. I am absolutely freezing. The only way I can get warm is hot baths. Wearing thermals under clothes and fuzzy socks daily. sleeping with an electric throw or heating pad. Sigh. Its 49° here and I chatter my teeth. How do skinny people handle it?

Lol - I'm freezing all the time also. I've been told my body will get used to less fat insulation eventually.

don't count on it. I am 13 years out and still freeze all the time. I have learned to layer and take my sweater with me at all times. movie theaters and food establishments keep it way too cold. having said that I have moved to sunny florida and only have about 5 or 6 days I have to wear shoes per winter. part of this is trying to keep it light but I do layer all the time and take the sweater with me in my car. good luck to you

I had that problem. Two pairs of socks, two blankets and still shivering. Went for my routine blood check and Surprise.. Iron deficiency. I have to take a pill three times a day and the doctor says, I will be good as new in no time.

I'm pre op, surgery is scheduled for 1/25 and I'm so happy to see you all are freezing! (Kidding). Seriously though I'm hot all the time and sweat when I barely do anything. I'm looking forward to not being sweaty. I'm hoping this surgery puts a stop to my makeup sweating off of my face.

I hardly ever wore makeup before for that reason. Now all the time

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
