How do you all stay warm while losing all this weight. I have lost 21 pounds and am freezing all the time!!!! 🥶🥶 I haven’t even had my surgery yet but I’m pretty certain I’m going to get frost bite. It was 77 degrees yesterday and despite my winter clothes I couldn’t get warm. Supposed to be in the 80’s today so I am hoping to break the chill! What I wouldn’t give for a hot flash!! 🥴

I have an office sweater, a bedroom sweater, a dining room sweater, and blankets on every ding dang sitting option in the house. Its a running joke in our family - my old lady sweaters and my blankets! I wish I had a solution, but 115lbs down, even in Arizona, and I'm pretty much always chilly.

that rapid weight loss seems to affect people's inner thermostats. Sometimes it's temporary, sometimes it's not. Mine was temporary - I think it just lasted a few months. But I know some people who are years out who are still freezing all the time.

My surgery was over 3 years ago, and I'm still freezing!! LOL!!

Better than being hot and sweaty though, which is how I used to be when I was heavy!

I was freezing at 400+ lbs and I am still freezing after losing almost half of that!

ALWAYS COLD! Except now, I am even chilly in warmer weather.

Layers... lots of layers.

I live in South Florida, so I am freezing in my house and then sweating from all the layers of clothes when I step outside... lol. I sit in my hot car and defrost after work.🤣😂😫😒

Same for me here. I have a sweater for the car, the office and at home. I'm in Malaysia (tropical country) and it is raining almost everyday here. I can't remember the last time I turned on the air conditioning or the fan in my office or at home. My coworkers always joke about how my office feels like a different zone compared to the rest. The air cons are running at full blast all over the office except for mine

I still feel cold. It’s a lack of insulation (fat) thing now & my body doesn’t have to work as hard to get about.

I dress to compensate & always have an extra coat with me.

My heating is cranked to the max, My uncomplaining hubby is sat in his boxers. I am freezing cold and I so hope it gets better but it may be the price I have to pay to not carry all that insulation.

Freezing all the time here too - after 100+lbs loss. The room I'm currently sitting in is 21 degrees but I have four layers on on top and my hands and feet are like blocks of ice. It's one of the biggest changes I've experienced after surgery. Cannot get used to it.
