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.

OMG! I always freeze now... it is ridiculous! What am i gonna do when the REAL cold weather gets here? My heating bill is gonna be outrageous! At least i am not that only one that is noticing that all of my "insulation" is missing. haha

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!

      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.
