Have you noticed since you have lost weight that it is easier to take this Oklahoma heat?  I have noticed that it has made a major difference with me. Just checkin to see if anyone else feels a difference.

Absolutely! I was just out, sitting on the porch swing, and my neighbor came over and said, "Are you crazy?!" He was dripping in sweat, but I was sitting there, cool as a cucumber. I mean, it was warm, but I felt quite pleasant. I had my ice water in the BEST insulated water bottle I've ever had (my newest rave purchase!), and I enjoyed being outside. Normally, pre-surgery, I wouldn't have ventured out, at all. :)
Just another plus about having had WLS! :)

Yes, I step outside frequently to warm up.

Yes, it has made a big difference. Normally I wouldn't go out of the house in this weather, but we did errands today and I didn't even break a sweat. Now, my husband was soaking.

Oh, yeah.  My heat tolerance is definitely better.  I am able to stay out and work in the yard much longer and still have energy for the rest of the day.  It is easier when you aren't carrying a cheerleader on your back all the time!
I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Yup!  And I would've paid $10,000 just for this effect!  I still get hot and still sweat when I work out but I no longer sweat my way around Wal Mart!  And I don't suffer with the heat the way I used to .  I am lovin' this part!!!

It has definitely been easier to take the heat this year.  I don't even really mind the warmth when I go to open up the car, and I've been out working in the yard several days without any of the panting, red faced exhaustion that I used to experience with only the slightest exertion in the heat.

It just ****** me off that I have to keep a sweat shirt in my office because and I can't take the air conditioning.... also can't seem to stand to get in the pool after the sun goes down, even though the water temp is hovering around 87 degrees.  I tried it Sunday night, and my teet were chattering so bad I thought my fillings were going to fall out.
