Freezing....all the time!



Recommended Posts

OMG!! Thank Goodness I thought it was just me freezing my butt off all the time!!! Everyone at work thinks I am nuts that I have a space heater on all year round yeah even in the summer, but I guess we just have to readjust to a normal weight.

That's funny because I'm always hot and tend to start sweating for no reason. Looking forward to being always cold

I'm the same except I've lost most of my weight and I still feel like I have an eternal heater on. My surgeons nurse was joking saying that "OMG your gonna be feeling the cold soon enough!"...

OMG when????? Lol

I was cold before and am still cold!

Hoping to help-

Cuddl Duds/layers - http://www.cuddlduds.com I wear them as a base layer. Get mine at good old Walmart or Target. costco carries a brand called 32 degrees. Similar base layers, also good.

Electric mattress pad - nice and toasty.

Build muscle- supposed to help. Don't know for myself. Takes forever.

Anything merino wool. Can be pricey and special care needed. I have a cardigan someone gave me in a bag of clothes to help size down. I actually get toasty in it!

Good luck!

In Italy they say cold hands mean a warm heart. ;)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've been maintaining at goal for 15+ months and I am STILL freezing all the time. I did not adapt to the loss of my insulation.

Went to bed in wool socks, a base layer shirt, a sweatshirt and fleece lined pants plus had the heater on! I'm 4 years out!

So to add to previous posts, layers are key. Gloves and hats make a huge difference when outside in the cold. I opted for a heated throw for my bed as opposed to a mattress pad- hubby is always hot so this is easier to keep just on me and it turns off automatically after an hour (and I'm usually asleep by then). I have a wardrobe of coats all different weights and I now own more cardigans than I could have ever imagined.

I'm cold all the time also. It doesn't help that it's really cold out. ☃

I'm in eastern Canada. Layered up with fleece pants, fuzzy socks, fuzzy throw blanket, a cat on my lap, space heater pumping in the living room, and I'm pretty sure I'm still going to lose my fingers to frostbite. Gah! I'm down 104 lbs and have turned into a human popsicle.

My thermostat has gone down too, but it's a bit of a relief, as before, I was overheating all the time.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
