I'm Cold. . .



Recommended Posts

I have never been cold in my life - my dh refers to me as a polar bear. I love to sleep with the window cracked during the winter, always wear short sleeves, etc. During the past week I have been sooo cold; cold hands, feet. Maybe I was like a polar bear?!

Anybody else have this new "problem"?

I was banded on September 29 and I feel the same--and even though I have lost 29 lbs. I still have plenty of blubber. So I am wondering what this is about myself. Any info would be helpful.

Lanakila - Polar bear to skinny bear - is there a skinny bear???? Too funny!

Mango24 - I go in for my nutrition follow up after Turkey Day, I have blood work up then, will check into it!

My sweatshirts are getting lots of wear right now. The dogs have been super snuggly since I seem to be wrapped in a blanket every time I sit down! Not all bad!

Thanks for the input!!!

I lost weight without going below 1500 calories so I dont know whether that's the reason, but I went through a period of being freezing - it lasted months. Now I dont feel freezing all the time but I need more clothes than I used to. I never used to take a jacket just in case but now I do. Its coz you've lost your insulation.

I am cold too. I attribute it to having less "insulation" to keep me warm.

The one thing I'm noticing is that I don't sweat nearly as easy as I used to. The more weight we lose, the less work our body is doing just to survive.

Yep. Happened when I lost 60lbs on WW too.

It's 73 in my house right now, I'm sitting only a few feet from the woodstove and I'm still cold. I have a sweater on too! Monday, finally got comfortable feeling. Headed off to bed and checked the temp. It was 80 in here!!! LOL!!

Good thing DH wasn't home. I had the stove crankin' and didn't even realize it!! I was just happy to be finally ALL warm! There's always at least some part that is cold. Right now it's my feet (w/socks). Earlier it was my face.

I'm going to bed. I've got the flannels on the bed. It's warm there!

I just went o IL for a wedding a little while ago. And being a California they were making fun of me the whole time for being an ice block. I think I did loose a lot of insulation.

Amaltha ~Well, I sit here cold again tonight. I am heading out to WI for Turkey Day, I will probably freeze my Buns off! Inlaws have a wood stove, I will probably be sitting on top of it!

I head in tomorrow to get a fill. I am going to ask the PA about being cold - I will keep you posted! I am hoping it is just my new sleek body!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
