The Cold
I have a question for all you two years and out VSGers........does the feeling cold all the time ever subside or at least, lessen?
Granted we're having a crazy cold winter here in Maine, but having to bundle up like Nanook fo the North 24/7 is wearing thin.
Thanks for any insight.

I am cold summer n winter at 8 years post op. It is what it is for me now n I don't expect it to change.
I used to be teased for "glowing" (sweating profusely) all of the time. Now, I'm always cold, and layer proficiently. I find foot and hand warmers help during this frigid weather.

I don't know if all this people are sensitive to cold. When I was young and very skinny I was cold all the time. And 4 years ago I went on the Bernstein diet and lost 45 pounds in three months and felt pretty cold. My two youngest daughters, who are quite thin, are very sensitive to cold. My oldest daughter, who's an athlete never complains about it so I don't know. Maybe as we lose weight we become normal in a most unexpected way. Saving money on the A/C is one of the things I'll add to my list of things to look forward to. Of course, then there's the heating bill in the winter...
