Feeling cold, does it get better with time or a forever thing?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious as to why everyone winds up being cold? I'm having bypass next month. Should I invest in my sweat shirts lol

I’m 18 months out and get cold much more easily now. It started not right after surgery, but when I got closer to a normal BMI.

I must have the worst of both worlds, because I’m not any more heat tolerant than I was previously. I’m a temperature Goldilocks it seems 😂

And May things continue to go forward, May You have no sorrowful Days and May you someday reach your goals. I am close to the one I set out for me but If the last 8-9 don't disappear, I'm still good because as the layers melted away I found and regained my Self-Worth, after years of being told I was worthless, Obese and disgusting, that no one really loved me as much as they pitied me. I was actually told by That Billy of a Late Husband that nobody liked me, nobody wanted to be in the same room because I was A colorless detention of Him. And Ugly so Ugly because I was OBESE. Why is Fall- Shaming not designated. as what it is--- socially Acceptable Bullying. I've. now found the essential coolness Nobody ever credited me with and I will rock this life that my RNY helped regain, you See , my friends-----
Frustr8 means fun, fantastic, fabulous and forever Cool. Took me into my 70s to finally get emotionally strong and to Rely on Me. I'm nobody's shadow, I do not exist as an accessory to anyone else, I am a Wonderful person in My Own Right and Holy Hannah
IT FEELS SO VERY GOOD!

Dear Spell- correct. Correct words from Above
Bully & Extension of Him- Not true any way or form- I am Me, upright, red-headed, if I do make mistakes they are mine and mine alone. And I am accountable for My Own Sins and No one elses, so I will no longer accept blame for the World's situation and I no longer will humble myself in the forlorn hope. that Someone will love me better that way.
As Martin Luther once said---
"Here I Stand- I Can Do Aught Else!"

Always cold, always sneaking the AC warmer at home and work. I have a sleeve, I’m almost a year out, and have an overweight (not obese!) BMI. Peri menopause May be a factor. I’m considering buying long johns.

Jeggings are now my best friend, merely overweight also, get mine at WallyWorld and what a Joy to have left Lan Bryant in the dust AND I AM FINALLY A JUNIOR AGAIN- okay okay a 17-19 but it's Still Junior Sizing after all! Probably last was This Size at 17 or 18 and that has been 56 years ago. Tomkitten's Late Daddy never even saw me at This Size, we didn't get together until 2- 3 years later.

I started feeling cold the next day after surgery and I’m still waiting to thaw out.
Just this weekend I went to an art exhibit and was FREEZING the whole time I was inside.
There was an outdoor courtyard with food and beverages, but security wasn’t letting anyone out there until it was time. I could barely enjoy the art, because I was shivering and finally one of the guys felt sorry for me and let me stand outside for a few minutes before they opened it up.

I’m in Oklahoma where the temps are still in the 90’s and I’m cold all of the time.
Right now I’m sitting on my couch under a light blanket with yoga pants and a long sleeve t-shirt on.
I had a sleeve so it’s not just limited to bypass patients

Anyone Iron deficient? I have been a bit chilled since before WLS? I alternatively attributed it to anemic or a sympathetic neurological disorder usually depending on my MD Most likely it is the latter but since I don’t like any of the treatments I live with that. - it is almost like a low grade pain and at time penetrates into my core Sweaters do not really help but getting any moving air off my skin does. Hyper sensitivity to sensations

14 months, always cold.
On the bright side I was able to enjoy summer this year without sweating like a pig all day long #swampass 😬

      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.
