No, but then its not that hot in summer where I am.

Is it a matter of staying hyrdrated or something else?

As far as what? I know the first week or two my incisions sorta burned when the heat would beat against my shirt so I tended to stay inside a lot those first two weeks. But since then I've been out, even laid out a few times (stomach covered though), and was fine.

As for the heat in general, I seem to be tolerating it a lil better than usual. But I guess that's because I lost a total of 44lbs since March (16 of it since surgery).

Texan here and we're at a point where we're inching into our hottest months.

I can't say as I have an intolerance to the heat or sun, although I am rather fair-skinned and don't often spend a lot of time out in the sun anyway.

As someone mentioned above, I can say that I'm rather cold intolerant. Even at 3+ years out, I am often cold and am glad we relocated to a warmer state. I don't think I could tolerate those midwest winters anymore.

Some medications can cause heat and cold intolerance. I have trouble with that due to my meds, but I haven't had surgery yet, so I can't say whether it gets worse with surgery. Check drugs dot com to look up all your meds to check the possible side effects.

      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.
