Am I going to freeze ?

[kakatlady612 1,053]

I'm pre surg and already driving my family crazy complaining I'm cold. Doesn't help I live in the Midwest but my usual outfit now is a sweatsuit, will I be wearing thermal undies once I lose more insulating fat? I'm widowed so I don't have a snuggly hubby to curl up with maybe I should invest in an electric blanket? Help!

I live in Florida. Now that I have lost over 277 pounds when it gets cold here I feel just as cold as I did when I lived in Michigan. I never thought I would say I am cold in South East Florida but I am. I have on an electric fireplace in my room, while my room mate has 2 fans on in his. When the house temp drops down to 72 I have the heat on. CRAZY! I would say you should invest in an electric blanket. Good luck with your pre-op diet and surgery.

My husband gave me an electric blanket for Christmas. Best gift ever!!

This winter hasn't been as bad, but last winter was terrible for me. I still get cold way more than I ever had before and yes, it's because most of my insulation is gone now. Almost always had a blanket on my when I was at home. Hell I remember sitting in the living room in a sweatshirt and having my hood up! lol

Something to look forward to... I started experiencing 'personal summers' (aka hot flashes) a little over a year ago, and my poor husband has often is shivering at night while I have the fan running to keep things bearable for me.

Yes. We will both freeze. We will both die in our chairs, shriveled, wrinkly, protein-prune-pops! I have a hoodie huge robe in grey fleece. Mr. F. calls me Yoda cuz I always wear it over my clothes, zipped, and the hood up. It's a lot like a monk's cowl.

Don't have any more floods in Texas please- i have a horrid mental image of you in your Yoda suit bobbing,down the Brazos on the way to the sea.
