@ms.sss I am freezing all the time before surgery my heat was at 60 window open fan on. Iโ€™ve been home for a week now and my heat is at 72 degrees, 2 comforters and a heating pad and Iโ€™m still cold I hate this.

Everything said in this thread is me to a T. Lol. I wondered if it was only me. Makes me feel better to hear you all say the same

It's normal to feel c-c-c-c-old after surgery and have the need to wear sweaters/socks/blankets All. The. Time.




Side note: I am the only one in my hot yoga class who wears socks and long sleeves to class. Sometimes I even keep my yoga jacket on for the first half of it.


How long ago did you have surgery? Have you had your Iron checked?

Yeah, being cold is annoying. But I have to say I prefer it over being so hot all the time. Before, the slightest exertion would result in me being a hot, sweating mess. Then I'd be all flustered about being sweaty and then end up sweating some more. *sigh*

So now socks are a fixture on my feet (I only see my feet now when I shower!), and I drink hot Water all day.

I want to say it has gotten slightly better, but it may just be because the weather is getting warmer. *shrugs*

Hmmm... hadn't considered having to wear socks all the time post-op. My poor hobbit feet only tolerate socks begrudgingly when there is snow on the ground (okay, so that's still at least six months of the year here). I hope that maybe I'll miss this after-effect of surgery.

I'm a couple days past my 5 month mark. I had my labs done last month (around mid-feb), and all was good except I was a little high on B12...so they asked me to reduce the frequency of taking my B12 vites, that's about it.

I remember reading somewhere that body temp goes down during active weight loss phases, but I can't be sure...I'll have to go do some research on that later to confirm...

Ah, a fellow Canadian ๐Ÿ

I also eschewed socks before (they made my feet sweat!) If I wore them out, I would take them off as soon as I got home. Now they are my bffs.

Being cold afterwards is pretty common, I understand, but everyone tolerates it differently...your hobbit feet may be OK au naturel. :)

There aren't many of us here... glad to meet another bariatric patient from north of the 49th parallel.

As for the socks, I will adjust if I have to. But I won't like it. ;)

Oh do I have news for you, not only do we have B.C. the ever present Ontario and P.Am we recently acquired a Newfoundlander and a P. E. I., and while you were inactive a Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, but I think they have both moved on to the thinner life. I think the PEI is maybe having her surgery on shore in Labrador, but of course they all have my well wishes! Told the Maritimers and PQ I would sing O Canada in their success, but I think they didn't mind the threat and still had success. I had 5 years of French , grades 7 through12, I really should take the challenge of learning it in French, one of my instructors was from Alabama, so some words have a drawl . When I. talked to my penpal in Dollard Des Ormeaux( Montreal suburb) I think it was all she could do to keep from giggling. Haven't. heard from her for a while , her hubby was a professor at McGill, I think Chemistry.

      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.
