Cold?

Anyone else freezing since surgery? I haven't been warm since I left the hospital and everyone was hot there. I know it's cold here in CT but I also know that I was NEVER this cold before.

Hey there -- I had been told this was a normal thing after surgery. You loose your insulation and your body stays cold. Just add an extra sweater -- this may stay this way.

Check your iron levels. You are probably not getting enough. I was skirting the line of anemia before surgery and now I definitely need to take supplements (altho I have not been - bad me). I notice I am colder (esp. my hands and feet) and I am bruising super easily.

I have had the exact same thing!! It's been very cold here in Chicago, but I've never felt this cold before. I walked around the house with a blanket wrapped around me for a week. I'm a barefoot girl, and haven't taken my socks off since surgery!! Not even to go to bed which used to drive me crazy!!

I am the same way. I have worn slippers and socks. Plus I have been wearing socks to bed. The hubby trys to take them off when we have sex and thinks it's funny. Stupid man.
