freezing, weird thing happened

Okay, so since I have lost most of my "insulation" I am FREEZING all of the time.  Not just cold, but I can't warm up no matter what cold.  We have had the pellet stove running, the thermostat says it is toasty and the babies are ripping off their shirts (sign they are hot lol) and I am still cold.

Anyways, so this weird thing just happened to me.  As I am shaking with one inch goosebumps on my arm it actually gets painful to feel that cold.  My toes and fingers started tingling.  Then my toes felt like they were totally numb and I could barely bend them.  My toes started to go white, then I got all these weird red blotches on my feet, and even like the color of a bruise.  Has anyone had anything like this happen?

Are you all freezing all the time now that you have lost weight?  I know Ruth is lol.

I took a picture of my foot because it was clear as day the weird colors and things that were going on.  It is just now starting to feel better and I am warming back up a bit..  It is so weird.  Son't mind the chipping french polish lol

Hi  Tanya  do you take  B  12   ?

But i would call the  surgeons office  or my pcp  and ask the questions.

and what you can do to help it.

when i get cold it is my b 12 is low so i take another one but that is not always the problem for most people so you need to talk to someone  who knows  about this stuff.

have a great day

hope you find the answer to your  question

I don't specifically take B-12, but my Bariatric Advantage vitamins that I do take have 50 mcg which says it equals 833% of the daily value.

I will have to place a call to the PCP and see what they say.

Oh no, not enough...  Besides your multi, you should take 500 mcg a day (maybe because of the malabsorption)  I am surprised they didn't tell you this...   Do you take seperately an iron supp as well?

I'm freezing all the time too. Dr. L said our bodies would adjust to the loss of our insulation. I'd like to know when. All summer I've had my heater going at my desk and have also used my electric blanket all summer too! I have a feeling I will have a higher oil bill this winter! YIKES! Like you I am so cold at times it hurts.

We  have to  take   b12  1000 units  sublingal   once a week.  My mom was  b 12  lacking so i take   2500  b 12 twice a week .  what your body dont use you pee out.   so you could try that .   when do you get your  blood tests again for your surgeion.   Yes  some people get real  cold but it could also be a deficiency in a vitamin  so please ask the questions.

My 1 year follow-up is supposed to be mid-February.  But due to an insurance mess (as always) I have to be seen in December for it to be covered.  So I will be 2 months early about...and I am sure not at my personal goal since I am missing a few months.

Maybe I will check about taking some if it just comes out what you don't need.  I will call PCP and see what they say at some point here.

I am freezing all the time but have never actually had it hurt. Call Dr Loggins just to see if it is something you are lagging. I am feeling better since my allergies are under control. I jump around alot lol kids think Im nuts, but it helps. Get a jump rope lol might as well not look nuts like me.  I have been wearing my long winter coat out to wait for the bus with Timmy lol don't know what I will do this winter. HA HA I am going to get more battery operated heat socks lol. Sounds kind of like a circulation thing. Hmmmm Id call for sure.

I too am FREEZING all the time.. I had winter pj's all summer long. And carried a sweater where ever I went. I get so cold that is hurts too. But it is not my feet that hurt LOL it is my left and only left breast,,,, yup you read right go figure ... no I wont take a picture but it too turns white and sometimes hurts so bad that it brings tears to my eyes. My PCP has no idea ,,, of course when I am there with her(PCP) it is not doing it so I can't show her what it looks like LOL........too much info I know.....
My brother who lost over 200lbs years ago was cold too it did stop for him after his weight settled
