I’m 4 months out and cold all the time. We’ve lost our insulation!

It's a little refreshing to me. I used to get hot all the time. Winter I'd have the house in the 60s, now I bump it up to 70 and still get cold.

I am 10 months out and at goal with a BMI of 23. I am freezing all the time. I actually enjoyed the past summer, which is unheard of for me, and I used to enjoy winter so much, but now it is pretty awful. I wear extra layers of clothes everywhere. The only time I am not chilled is when I am exercising. I hate going to bed cold, so I do 30 minutes on my elliptical an hour before bed and then I actually feel warm and comfortable.

At work, we really hustle, and while my coworkers are feeling warm all the time, I am wearing an additional scrub jacket with long sleeves! I used to get upset at my skinny husband for always turning the heater way up in the car. Now it is ME turning up the heater. I just die going into a grocery store - I've learned to take a jacket, as they are so cold. The frozen food isles are awful.

I don't think this will ever change. We lost our blubber and all our insulation! BUT........ whining over. This is a small price to pay for a new life. :)

Make sure you are getting enough fluids. Feeling cold is one of the primary symptoms of dehydration. A good easy test is to pinch the skin on the back of your hand and release. If it instantly snaps back and you can't even tell where you pinched, you are good. If it snaps back more slowly and leave a momentary ridge, drink up.

No worries there. I get all 64-100 oz daily.) If you get to the point of being able to pinch up your skin, you are way dehydrated. It should never get to that point.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
