Topic: Who is cold like me?
Hi guys and Happy Wednesday to all!!! This is my 2 winter after WLS. I am making everyone crazy. It seems everywhere I go I am freezing. If I go to my family, I am turning off fans, turning up heat, shutting windows. I have heat in my apartment and have a heating mattress on my bed. Wherever I go I am so cold. When I get in the car, I don't let anyone open windows. It is cold here in NY.
I was never cold one day in my life.
Do you think losing the weight is the only reason?
My bloodwork is good, I am not anemic, so whats up? It does not makes sense to be this cold.
I put A/C s in this year and never turned them on. I don't think they will go in this year.
All your responses are appreciated.
Thanks guys
Lorraine (((((((((((( freezing here in NY))))))))))))

Nona, Hi stranger How are you? Thanks for responding to my post. Yes it is always something. I used to think getting rich was the answer. As I got older and wiser I realized that my health and sanity was the most important thing to me now. I love my daughter, but right now she needs to be left alone. So.... here I am at 54 with love problems. I am having a birthday party friday night and I am going to enjoy. I don't have to drive so I will and have a great time. I used to be very active with the BBWS "BIG BEAUTIFUL WOMEN" so they are making the party for me. The funny thing will be that out of maybe 25 people at least 20 have had the WLS. I ordered a small cake and will enjoy.
Take care Nona

I was in and out same day, and back to work a few days later. It was a very easy procedure. I had mine, LAP, too by the same surgeon who later did my RnY. Once it is out, you will only wish you had done it sooner. Enjoy not being sick any more.

Hi Sweetie,
Sorry to hear you're having troubles. It never seems to end, does it? It's either our health, or family, or work. Something causing stress. Just be careful in whatever you decide to do.

Sunny, How are you? I know you have talked about doing this surgery, so I am glad you are going to take care of it. I am glad you are having it done laproscopically. They will probably go into the same holes. My daughter had it done and she was home the next day. Let me know when you have it done. You know my prayers are with you.
Peace and Love

Topic: GB surgery scheduled....
I've put if off long enough.....I scheduled to get my gall bladder out for February 10. Unfortunately, my WLS surgeon is no longer on my insurance but he recommended another surgeon (who is also a bariatric surgeon) that will do my GB laproscopically. It's gotta happen, I know....I just don't look forward to it at all.

Allson, Thanks for being there for me. I was in a relationship,infact 2 marriages. Now I feel its about me for a change.I have given enough and at my age I am teaching nothing. If he does not get help..... He has lost me. Sad to say but true.
Thanks again (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) to you.

Dear Lorraine,
I know how hard this must be for you because it sounds like you really like him in spite of his faults. It is hard not to keep giving someone chances even when you know they aren't the right fit for you. I have spent most of my life lonely because my husband just lives this separate kind of life. He isn't affectionate or cuddly and boy! I have dreampt of just having someone hold me.
I will pray for you and be thinking of you. Trust me, you can't change someone.

Hi there guys and gals How is everyone? I hope you guys are fine and enjoying your new lives as Thinner Healthier People. I am or at least trying. I have been in a relationship with a wonderful man. He is a bit younger than me. There are some wonderful things about him. He has class,respect,and is kind. He lacks though in the relationship department, which makes me the teacher.I never thought that at my age, I had to take the role on as a teacher. I have been a parent and raised my daughter and thought my job was over. I really don't want to teach a man things that I know, therapy would help. I think he needs an outsider to look in and help him. He had a very strict upbringing, which I think has affected him greatly. He refuses therapy, which makes me think, he is really not ready to commit to me. I thought I could change him but I should know you can't change anyone. They must change themselves.I have ended this relationship and kind of feel sorry for him. I dated and enjoyed being single. I know he will have a hard time with this.
Well life goes on and it will for me. I have a date tomorrow night. I don't know if I will get serious at this again, but I will continue my life as a single lady. What I am looking for is not an "EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP" At this point that will hurt.
Thanks for letting me vent. I love you guys.
Lorraine
((((HUGS))))))) to all of you guys.

Well date buddy.....First, I am glad you have realized that you have not worked your tool as it should be.......second you have to get to a support group in your area...no excuses!
You and only you are responsible for you and your use or lack there of your tool. It is a TOOL and you have to work it right or it will not work for you period!
This is not a flame...just tough love!
1) Find and attend a support group as often as they meet.
2) Find exercises that you can do without involving your foot, feet.
3) Take your vitamins!!!!!
4) Protein first
5) Water, water, water......throw the soda away!
You can get back on track if you want to bad enough...you did it once, you can do it again!
