I'm SO COLD!!!

Man, losing layers of fat so quickly really makes you cold all the time!  Last year I didn't even wear a winter coat because I was always hot.  This year I am layering and layering and sleeping under two comforters with socks and a sweatshirt on!  BRRR!!

You know, I've always been a cold person.  Now, it's exponential.  I am fully dressed when I go to bed:  sweatpants, t-shirt AND sweatshirt, socks.  And my office is a meat locker.  I looking at my arms right now and I have goose bumps.  LOL 

LOL - I am @ work and I have a pink fuzzy heated blanket wrapped around me.  And I'm wearing a sweater!

Good News, it does subside with time.  Bad News, it seems to go from "FREEZING all the time" to just "cold a lot of the time."  Things that helped me:  drinking boiled water in a thick mug, microwaving all-cotton socks, and vigorously cleaning the house.  Hope you get more hints to make it through the post-op freezing stage.

Hmm...interesting ideas.  I will take you up on some of those.  I am in the Northeast, and my hubby goes by his ridiculous motto of "no heat til trick or treat."  So that does not help.  Lately I've been making massive fires in the fireplace and sitting on the floor next to the fire to watch a movie at night.  He thinks I'm ridiculous but he just doesn't understand!  :)

LOL @ 'no heat til trick or treat'.  My husband is the furnace police, too.  We've had it on a couple of times already this fall, but only when it's been below freezing.  Typically in the winter it's set at 58 because he's a terrible person.  ha-ha  I'm doomed this year...

Hahhahaa...awesome.  We heat the whole house with coal, so its kind of like once you start you cant stop for the season.  Damn husbands!

I am freezing all the time too!!!!  I live in a pretty cold winter with snow location.  I am dreading what this winter will be like.  I may end up having to wear thermals and under armor like my husband always does! (he is a string bean) lol

Yes, it was quite a shock to me, too!  It has been better the past 2 years, but even at 7 years out, I still get chilled easily and if I get really cold, it is hard to get warmed back up without a heating pad, electric blanket, got bath shower, etc.

I've seen a change from always - always - being too warm/too hot; I kept the house at 55 thru the long, dark, cold Alaska winters.  But this year I am definitely seeing a change.  I don't want to heat the house up much just because the natural gas is so expensive, so I too have gone to layering.  Multiple shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts and I sometimes wrap one of my many wool scarves around my neck (that one REALLY helps).  Still, I'd rather be too cold than too hot so I guess I don't really mind it LOL!!  (Didn't I read somewhere that shivering burns calories, haha!)
