I'm Freezing!!!!

Before WLS I was the big fat sweaty guy. I could sweat in a blizzard. Warm blooded, you know. I am now one week post op and I'm Freezing!!!! I'm wearing sweaters, and sweatpants. Is this normal?

Hi Robert...I too am freezing, I'm 4 months out and -85 lbs, and I've been freezing more and more...I think it's because we are losing what use to keep us warm!!! You might ask Dr. Jon...he'll be able to help you more than I will...but I wanted to share I'm experiencing the same thing!!! Hope you get warm soon!!! ~~~Shari

OH YES. I freeze allll the time. Socks AND slippers! Long johns, the whole nine! You lose your insulation or so my mom says. We don't have all that anymore.

Yep, your normal... I used to sleep with no covers..now I need a heated blanket just to sit and watch tv... I dont care i am looking sharp in size 16s!!! Linda

Hi Robert, I have never been this cold in my life! My nose, and my feet are ice cold, and I'm always shivering. I told my husband that there must be something wrong with our heating, but it's just me. Hang in there and bundle up. Melissa

Robert You are just normal. I use to be like you and sweat in a blizzard, but not any more. I usually cover up with a blanket when I watch TV at night. By the way welcome to the board. Keep us posted and if we can help you in anyway just shout. You will be heard. Dan

It's normal....no more sweating

I too, before surgery, used to get hot all the time! It was bad. But since surgery .... I am always freezing! I'm almost a year and a half out ... and still to this day FREEZE. I'm afraid I'll still be wearing the long sleeves during the early summer months! HaHa ...... Anyway, yes it is very normal ... just get some blankets or sweats and bundle up! Susan
