Hot Or Cold



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am always hot. Many are always cold. How has weight loss or gain affected your body thermometer?

During the summer I am always way too hot. In the winter until the thermometer drops to about 20 degrees it is 'just right'

I amd 14 months pre-opt, and 60 lbs later, I am, as I was from day one always cold. All summer I ran my heater under my desk, my co-workers think I am crazy.

I am always too hot. My family suffers from the heat and we don't enjoy summer all that much. Since I have lost a big chunk of weight I don't suffer from the heat as badly as I used to but I still prefer cool weather.

I'm too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, but I've always been that way. I need a job that allows me to be a snowbird.

I'm always cold now.

We had a long weekend here in Melbourne for Melbourne Cup Day and we camped overnight at a friend's onsite van. I absolutely FROZE, its nearly summer here for crying out loud, I wore my jeans, two long sleeved tops and a very warm coat to bed and Doug was right next to me and I FROZE.

I use to be hot all the time. I always wanted the surrounding temp to be 65 or less. DH too.

For a couple months now, I am always cold! No one else around me will be cold but my hands, nose and feet will be ice cubes and I can't thaw out. My DH and I now fight over the thermostat.. we lived for years content with it being so cold, but not now!

Well, it makes sense that we feel colder now. 1. We are losing pounds of insulation and 2. Our metabolism is slower since we eat less, therefore our bodies produce less heat. I for one, never complained about being cold, but now I am freezing all the time (unless I'm having a hot flash)!

I'm always cold now. I never used to be. I could go around all winter with just a jacket when it's 10 degrees out. Not anymore. Layering is my thing! My husband thinks it's funny. I bake him out in the car. He has to roll down his window, then I get mad because there's cold air flowing in.

Yep, ice cube here, too! And I used to NEVER EVER be cold. My hubby misses it, he used to be able to snuggle up to me for warmth at night, and now it's the other way around! I could sleep in a 60 degree room with no blanket, just a sheet, and the ceiling fan going on high. Now, I have to pile on the blankets. During the day if I get cold, I'll have to go for a very brisk walk for at least 10 minutes to get warmed up. I still can't quite wear sweaters to work, because I still get too warm sometimes during the day, but I'm a lot more susceptible to the cold now than I've ever been.

I've always been hot-natured, by hubby is cold.

If I'm "comfortable", I don't dare mention it, because someone is sure to point out that the rest of the room are FREEZING!

I sure hope to get somewhere closer to NORMAL as the pounds drop!

      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.
