I am having the surgery in the morning tomorrow.

I am so cold! If you knew me you'd know that's almost unheard of unless i'm sick. I am guessing it's all the Water and other fluids i'm taking in today. 60ozs so far of liquid. I tried some Decaf coffee and it was eck. Now I'm about to try some decaffeinated tea hot. I think my hands are about as cold as i've ever felt normally.

I've read that a lot of people are cold after surgery. I am usually very hot natured so I am wondering what some of y'alls experiences with that may be?

mels, i was always the one in shorts and tee shirt year round and i dont even own a long sleeve shirt.

my wife called me her own space heater cause you could feel the heat radiate off me.

Now my hands are cold most all the time and i have not enjoyed this winter at all. my tolerance for cold is way down.

its a price i gladly pay to feel this good.

good luck on the 14th hope it goes smoothly and you have a great recovery,

There's a lady in Florida using a space heater while her roommate has the air conditioning on in her part of the house. Another in California either lies in the sun like a snake or wears sweats with a hood on overcast days, A man who got a heated seat for his office chair. So you see this is common. The problem is partially when you lost your fat you lost natural insulation. Your body is no longer in overdrive metabolically.You body has to,work,at burning fat off when it wishes it could Take a vacation, your calories are low and it's still recovering from the shock of surgery. It just might not have spare energy to let you shiver. Put on some more sweaters, summer will be coming soon! And it v is gonna be all right.

Congrats on surgery tomorrow. I live in flannel pjs and long tshirts and my hooded yoda robe with a scarf. I live in Houston. It's spring and 80 degrees outside. LOL. It's quite the look...

Yes! I am constantly cold@ Doesn't help that I live in frigid Minnesota. I am dreaming of a tropical spring break! I used to be hot all the time. I actually prefer the cold!

I ended up in the ER becuase I could not get warm (teeth chattering cold) and was having stomach pain. They gave me fluids and sent me home. I had layers on a so many blankets! It took a few days to get used to the change but my body finally adjusted. I've always been the one who is cold so at least I'm used to always having a blanket nearby.

Cold nearly all the time now, but I like it better than being hot - there are a limited number of layers you can shed when you are hot, unless you like getting arrested!!!👙

Hun, I am 3 weeks post-op and I thought I was weird because I have been freezing ever since surgery. Now, admittedly, it's been unseasonably cold here but I am normally the one who is always hot. Glad to know I am not the only one.

      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
