Very cold (notr a weather report)



Recommended Posts

I am not normally a cold person... I have always been the one who goes out without a jacket when it's 40 degrees. I am also the person who doesn't like shoes and socks, and is barefoot most of the time I am home.

Over the past month or so, I have been freezing.

Now I know it is a common thought (and I have believed a common misconception, though I might be wrong) that being fat causes a layer of insolation. But in my case, I am mostly talking cold hands, cold feet... I have actually been wearing socks even until bed. Lisa, my wife, has jumpped when I try to hug her because my hands are so cold. It is even the case when it's in the 60's outside.

Since it is mostly my extremitites, though the rest of me is somewhat cold too, I am wondering if something is up.

Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing...

BTW, I post this with great apologies to those in the north facing below freezing weather... I know that you definitely have an external reason to be cold, and I feel for you... especially in July when it gets to 105 with 90% humidity here in Houston.

Thanks for your thoughts.

      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.
