Hmm...I'm just the opposite. I used to be cold all winter (even at my highest weight). Now, I've lost nearly 70 lbs and feel just fine this winter--neither too hot nor too cold. I figured that my metabolism is better now (because of the exercise and the healthier diet). I'm wondering now after reading how "hotties" have turned into "freezer pops" just what is the variable? Hmm...

I'm with you! I freeze all the time, I used to wear short sleeved tshirt gowns to sleep in all year round, now I can't stand it, I have to wear flannel pj's, a robe, socks and shoes in the house. BRRRRR I freeze too death. It was 15 degrees here yesterday and I can't get warm! Right now I have on sweat pants, tshirt, sweatshirt 2 pair of socks and shoes. I sleep under a sheet, 2 blankets and 2 heavy quilts--I'm buying an electric blanket tomorrow! The doctor said some of mine is my blood pressure now. It used to be high and now i'm luck if it's 80/50 or usually even lower. We're playing musical meds right now to try to get it situated! My poor husband is burning up! I had the heat on 75 last night LOL Then when he gets in the bed and I put my icy feet on him he always screams! HEHEHEHE! Maybe it'll be better later on!

Thank god its not just me!!!! I am always so cold! And I live in humid New Orleans for goodness sake.

I have been such a tightwade about buying new clothes since losing weight. I am not ashamed to admit just last week I brought myself fleece footed jammies, like what kids wear. Can't wait for them to get here!!!

Ebay has plus sized ones, for men and women!! I'm pretty sure hubby is tired of me freezing him out with my feet, he'll appreciate this! lol

      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.
