anyone else start to freeze after a meal ... and feel the need to take a nap?  then, about 30 min later, your body temp comes back and your energy returns?

the plight of losing a tremendous amount of weight in a fast period of time.

I AM FROZEN ALL THE TIME.  And at night, when I have snuggled into my blankets...I shiver so much.....I realized it's because I am dehydrated a bit I guess...when your body has more fluids in it, it can regulate your temperature better.  I was not a thirsty person prior to the VSG and still struggle with getting in enough liquid in a day.  This also plays a role in the slow weight loss for me.  I average only about 2 lbs a week...if that.  I am almost 9 weeks post op. 

Referred June 2012.  Surgery Oct 15/2013 Dr. Irbach TWH VSG. Starting weight 287lbs. Started OPTI weight 260. Goal Weight 160lbs.

i am getting in lots of liquids -- but i am still cold.  

i am slow as well in my weight loss -- but at least i am consistent.  i have dropped about 4lbs in the last 5 days -- which is  a lot for me.  

i think i am gettign in enough protein --- this icicle feeling is crazy -- but all me blood work is good.

The cold thing is a common side effect of surgery or so I have read. I know I am freeeezing a lot of the time...and I am normally a person who LOVES the cold and can't stand the heat. However....I now sleep with my pj's AND my robe...AND 2 blankets....and I am still freezing, lol. I was starting to think it had something to do with my vitamins. It seems to kick in and get worse after I take my vitamins or drink my protein shake.

I wonder if I will still be freezing in the summer when it's like 30 degrees out? Would be nice to have a built in air conditioner and not be sweating my ass off for once, lol
