Same here.....Now I wear winter pjs and a thick robe to bed and double up the comforter for my side of the bed. I'm hoping that being cold will hold me through the summer months. Hated the feeling of needing to take a shower the minute I stepped foot outside the house.

I am right in there with you all. I come into the office and turn the heater up to 71. I am freezing while everyone else is warm. I am wearing UGGS, jeans and a jacket right this second! I am glad it is not just me. I thought that to turn up your fat melting you would need to be hotter inside, but I am losing great and I am freezing. Maybe the shivers shake the fat loose!

Oh great lol. I'm always cold, always in socks and a jacket and already sleep with two heavy blankets on my bed. DH is always laughing at me cuz I'm cold even when he's ready to turn on the fans. I get banded on April 7 - I'll be an icecube! lol

Count me in! I have always been the hot, sweaty person. In the middle of winter everyone else is walking around in layers upon layers of clothes and coats and I was in my T-shirt or short sleeve blouse. now, I keep a heavy sweater at my desk, wear my coat everywhere and always have flannels, socks, sweatshirt and blanket on in the house---with the fireplace blasting. But I love it! I can always put more layers on, I can only take off some many layers before someone calls the authorities. ;-)

As far as i know and being a practical sort of bloke ,your body is like a machine it need fuel ,and you all used to get more than plenty of it,not you have cut down on the fuel intake so your body has gone into shutdown mode which means it narrows your blood vessels in your exremities so as to concentrate on keeping your vital organs fully charged ,so less blood running through means less heat

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post.

I just had my band placed on 2.25.09, since the surgery I am always cold. This is one problem until now I have never had too deal with. I hope this summer the heat will be more tolerable.

So ....the best way to start warming up is to either increase the pumping power of your heart through exercise OR .... walk walk walk which will icrease your metabilisim (is that how you spell it) so get the lard moving!!!

Go to Bararitictv.com and watch theri episode about

being cold.

It is common and normal.

I was banded on 3/5/09, down 40lbs and feel cold a lot

also.

But, I guess it's a price to pay. Blankets and sweaters

are worth the change to health.

Same here! I've only lost 30 pounds but I am wearing long sleeves on warm spring Georgia days! My hubby is a polar bear! It's very good to know that we are all experiencing the same thing! Actually as I change sizes it's sorta fun to pick out a sweater or a cute sweatshirt! :thumbup:

      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. 🤞
