found a downside to WLS...

k guys its summer and everyone is in shorts and tshirts and all that... i am sittin here in sweats... i go outside and i get looks bc i am FREEZIN i even still use my heating blanket... all the people around me are talkin about how there house is so HOT.... I have my heater on... i even done a double workout this am and did my hot chocolate protein drink... Neibors are talkin about goin to the beach..... i am like ahhhh aint gonna happen.. Unless i can take my heater with me....lol Is there a chance that my levels are off.. I dont know bu ti am gonna look pretty funny if i wear a sweats for the rest of summer.

Hey there Lois...err...Superman's Wife! I am not sure, but from what I've heard, it is normal that after WLS you feel cold most of the times...I am a "hot mamma" who normally turns the AC on even during the winter times, so I am hoping that after WLS I'll be a little cold but not too much. Now, for the "heater at the beach part" sorry, couldn't help it!! It sure is a funny vision!! Good luck! Dolly

No your levels are not off. I'm freezing all the time now too. I think it's because we don't have as much insulation as we used to have. I've seen alot of others who have the same problem. You are perfectly "normal". Joanne

Join the club!! I sit in my office with my space heater on now almost all the time....and its 90 degrees out!!

YIKES!!!!!

Hun, I know with my cuz she was cold all the time and when she was checked her Iron was low, now I am not sure if that has anything to do with it but I just wanted you to have the info. I know after WLS you get cold more often and I am only 1 1/2 weeks out and staring with it slightly. Just my 2 cents.....~hugs~ Debra P

IM FREEZING ALOTTTTTTTT.......Sooooo buy more sweats....LOL I do have to say though, this past week when it was 90...I was warm....LOL But....I still sleep with my blanket on 22..wont go any higher....lol Never put it away after winter.....I would be lost w/out it.....LOL Brenny

check your blood sugar ladies, to be safe that you are not hypoglycemic! (low)

I onow the feeling!!! I am ALWAYS cold!!! My fiance' said he was going to check me in to local funeral home.... I asked my doc and he said that I lost my insilation!! (sp?) Guess I'll just deal with being cold!!! Karry 311/182/167 goal

This is an interesting side effect. People who are thin all their lives aren't cold.... wonder why WLS people who become thin are. I guess its what you become used to. I wonder if it fades over time?
