constant cold feet and hands
I have to admit it is better than being sweaty and hot. At least I can layer up when needed. This past winter I traveled a lot to Boston. It was horrendous being out in the snow shoveling my rental car. Brrrrr!

I'm just south of Boston. The last of the !$@#&!! snow finally melted from my yard today! Finally! There are still big mountains of it in all the parking lots though.

I am with you. I am so enjoying being cold since getting my Sleeve. I was so uncomfortably hot before, it was miserable. I can add layers now...it is a great side benefit to the VSG Surgery that I did not expect. :-)

I'm freezing all the time. Last summer I ran my office floor heater constantly, even when it was over 90 degrees outside. In fact, the heater is running now.
I also have had to sleep with socks on and a robe because my heavy down comforter isn't warm enough anymore. Freaky sensation.

I finally broke down and bought an electric blanket because it took me so long to warm up the bed at night until I was warm enough to sleep. Now I'm toasty. I also invested in some silk long underwear - which I highly recommend. Its thin, but it does the job.
Plus New England had an exceptionally cold winter this year.

I have silk underwear, silk sock liners and silk glove liners. For the first year I had gloves with the fingers cut out that I used for the computer keyboard. I had surgery in October, froze all that winter and finally warmed up some when I spent time lying in the sun the next summer. I still need an electric blanket year round and still get freezing feet quite often.
