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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
