I used to be the person who got hot very quickly, now I have days that I call "Double Sweater Days" because that's what I end up wearing at work is two sweaters.

Central part, 48 miles NE of Columbus, where I had my surgery at Ohio State University, in Mount Vernon, the hometown of Daniel Decatur Emmett, who composed DIXIE, Paul Lynde, the late Hollywood actor and now ME, although I was actually born in Newark, 23 miles South of here, because that's where my parents were living. And I usually live in sweats, sleep in sweats, and don't defrost out until May when the rest of the world turns on Air Conditioning and starts fanning themselves!⛄❄⛄

Like all of you, I've never been one to be chilly. I live in Arizona so it rarely gets cold. This has been the coldest winter I've ever been through, though.. I got a space heater for under my desk at work! Unheard of. At least now I've lost enough weight to not look like a marshmallow if I layer my clothes :)

I’m in the same boat. I broke down and purchased a heated throw to use at work and Wear a sweater around the house. I blamed it on my lack of thyroid but it actually may be the weight loss.

      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.
