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:

      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.
