Feeling Cold



Recommended Posts

While I won't get much sympathy from the rest of the country, and that is understandable, we are having a cold snap here in Florida. I am absolutely freezing. Now I've been here over 25 years so I am used to the weather, but I have never been this cold during a cold snap before. Are any of you finding that your more affected by the cold?

I am always cold also. I think it has something to do with the weight loss. Everyone I talk to about it says it is because I am smaller. Well I am not that small and I still have a nice(ha, ha) layer of coushion so I should not be that affected by a little cool weather. I hope it will be better next winter, and thank goodness we don't live up north. I may never come out of my bed.

I am in San Diego and I am FREEZING. I attribute that to loosing my (not all) of my fat coat. This is my first winter that I have been this light in a long time. I am always cold.

Well im here in Michigan and I'm very, very, very cold. its about 4 degress here and in the - teens with the wind factored in, but I must say that even before it became this cold I was very cold. The more and more weight I lose the more blackets i have to keep in my living room for me. I have also never worn house shoes before but now I go no where without them. I even take them on long trips to visit family and friends so they are ready for my tooties.

So try and stay warm all you banders. And I will try that whole fingers under the belly trick.

I once asked my surgeon this question and the answer I got was that I was loosing weight soo fast that my body wasnt responding well to it. It was perfectly normal and would work itself out. I am ALWAYS cold and my daughter (I have an 11 year old) is always hot. I just put on more clothes and/or more blankets on the bed.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
