Ok, Can anyone help? I am about 7 1/2 months out, I have lost about 114 pounds, and I am like a block of ICE all the time!! Especially my hands and feet. I can't believe how cold I am!!! I recently had a problem involving bleeding (I'll spare you the details) and am running a bit anemic now, and I am sure that isn't helping, but this isn't just recent. It's been a few months. I am just FREEZING!!!! I know I am repeating myself, sorry! But DAMN!!!! Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks!!! Rossana 334/220/???

Rossana, I just wanted to tell you that I was and still am at times the same way. It seemed worse though when I was dropping the bulk of my weight. I think now that the weightloss has slowed a bit the frigid feeling I was having is not as bad. I keep a little heater next to me whenever possible. Other then that I think all we can do is pray for spring. Take care and try to stay warm! Jean

Hi Rosanna, I too was cold about 1 month out. It was discovered that I was also anemic and required iron supplements. I've been on Chromogen Forte (with B12, iron and some other supplement) since just before Christmas and have not been as cold as before. I wear thermal underwear and have a throw in my office just in case. The thermals help quite a bit. Check with your doctor just to make sure. Good Luck. LindaM 230/177

I feel your pain. I constantly walk around with a hot cup of herbal tea at work because I'm freezing. I try to dress in layers now, which isn't too hard as I'm usually wearing scrubs. When I'm at home I keep a sweatshirt on and always wear socks or slippers. Guess my body misses it's "fat coat" lol.

I am soooo jealous! Yes, jealous. I got cheated. Everyone said when I lost the weight, I'd be cold all the time. Not! I'm still hot. Not fair. I look at it this way, when you're cold you can always add layers. If I start stripping, its gonna get ugly!

I look at it as an opportunity to indulge in buying shawls & pashminas I keep one in my office & one in my car. P~ "Life is too short to wear sensible shoes!" "WWCHD?"
