I am experiencing similar symptoms. I mentioned it to my healthcare team at my last check-in, and they smiled and said it was very common.

Pre-surgery, I was constantly hot. I kept the AC as cold as tolerable for others both at work and home. I felt like I was always sweating, slept with barely any blankets/sheets and the ceiling fan on high.

Post-op, I am now a freeze baby. I have stacked the bed with blankets, wear long-sleeves nearly every day, whether indoors or outside, and always have an extra jacket with me. The change is dramatic.

OH im glad this was bumped. I'm almost 3 months out & this is the first December where I'm wearing a sweater EVERY DAY. I would wear a sweater like 5x max in the winter (I'm in California so it's not needed that often) but I've been freezing this winter!

I used to be that person that would never need extra warmth. My fat was more than enough & I enjoyed the cold. Now I feel like a fragile plant haha

I'm in SoCal, so it's so much worse other places, but I'm still sleeping with two heating pads, 5 blankets, and a 50lb puppy, and I'm still cold at night 😭

I dread my days off when I actually have to put together an outfit, nothing I own seems warm enough.

Well, I'm now almost 7 1/2 months out, and I'm still freezing all the time. Right now I have on leggings, socks, a long sleeve sweatshirt, and a blanket wrapped around me lol And I'm wearing slippers. I look ridiculous. But I can't help it!!! I'm COLD!!! I have the heat on (it's 18 degrees outside) but my hands and feet are frozen. Just absolute popsicles. It's so so weird to me lol

Did you find Summer time was more bearable? I would always overheat in the & I'm hoping this temperature shift also means I'll stay a tiny bit cooler in the summer

Last summer I went to Spain and the temperature was in the 90's. Hot Hot Hot. I did not break a bead of sweat. Didn't use the air con, just felt brilliant. Today its -8 and I am going Christmas shopping with my bestie. I am freezing in a Thermal vest, jumper dress, leggings, long socks and fur boots, big parka coat and bobble hat, wool scarf and two pairs of gloves. I always complained about being too hot before surgery....... serves me right

The cold-sensitivity hit me late. Wasn't so bad as I was losing, but in the last couple of months I have really felt it. I am looking for a jacket now the second the temp drops, even in summer (which has been mild so far, I'm hoping the opposite will be true - that I can stand the heat more when the high numbers start to hit).

9 weeks post op, I started wearing a fleece vest wherever I go as I'm running cold. My son's lake house 20 degrees outside, I wore leggings under my pants. Feet are always frozen. I tended to get hot flashes even post menopausal from Metformin, especially triggered from summer heat. Haven't taken it since surgery). So glad to hear the summer heat will be better. Hopefully between less sweating. Hitting the gym next week so getting the sweating in where it should be. Lol. But with less weight and better fitness, sweating should could be less.

      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.
