Still cold Still losing

Hi everyone, Are you still cold all the time? When everyone else is hot do you still shiver? I am taking my vit's/iron although still anemic (sp) but man am I cold. Especially when I go to bed. Dressed in flannel, down comforter, heat on... : How about losing weight, 34 months out and if I follow my NUT's advise I still lose. Not complaining mind you just amazed. I am 195 lbs down from my highest. Had considered losing another 5 for the 200 mark, but I am going on maintenance so my weight can be stable for a TT with a LBL. This is going to be an anchor cut around to my back. I was denied PS because I was still losing. So the rationale is to maintain and get approved. Those 5lbs should go with the TT. Next year it will be the Thigh plasty, not loking forward to that but it is so needed. Just ranting I guess I just needed to get my thoughts down. Have a great Sunday. MaryLyn

MaryLyn, Yes, I am cold all the time, while my friends are having hot flashes I am having cold flashes. I am not anemic and suffer from being cold...I am 252 lbs from my highest weight, life is good. Have a great week!!! Mary

Hi Marylyn! Yes, I still get very cold, especially at night. But I also get hot easily when it's warm out. When we get into the Jacuzzi I find I can only stay in it for about 5 minutes because I am boiling inside! Being cold is not quite as bad as it was a few months post-op... then I was so cold I was in pain and I was shivering even with the electric blanket on high. I can now sleep comfortably at night with the electric blanket on low. Michelle

Michelle, People think I am crazy because I tend to shiver even though it is getting warmer. I still put the heat on at home & in the car. My sister lives with me and complains that the house is too hot.... Oh well, can't fight it i guess. Glad to hear I am not alone. MaryLyn

No -- that being cold all the time stopped when I got on a regular exercise program. I suspect that my metabolism has risen which solved the problem. Deb

Deb, Maybe if i got off my butt and went back to the gym i might feel better. Thanks for the response, it is good to keep that in mind (metabolism). MaryLyn

I WISH! I'm 3 years out, at goal and I'm still perpetually hot. OH how I'd love to be cold for a while, to be able to put on a pretty sweater rather than ranting about why is it so dam hot in here all the time!? And no, its not flashes, I'm over that a long time ago. Just my metabolism, I guess.

Linda, I guess it is six of one half dozen of the other. I don't want to be hot either. I cannot stand being hot, especially because I was always hot at 195 lbs heavier. Hope you get past being hot all the time, I know it is not comfortable. I have not gone through menopause yet, so maybe when that happens I will warm up. Take care MaryLyn

Hi, I'm cold almost always, occasionally I seem to be a "normal" temp and at 50, I experience a hot flash like once a month---and then I freeze. I wear sweaters 365 days a year. They keep it so cold at work I swear you could hang meat and it would keep---but then I'm about the only one who thinks so. Last year the was 1 expectant mother who was hot, and they turned the temp down for her. This year there are 3. I'm doomed!! LOL Others in the office are weraing capris & sandals---I'm still wearing my chenile sweaters and socks & shoes!! I guess we're all different Bek

Hi Bek, The folks at my office are always hot, yet I have a fleece jackt in my cube and wear a jacket everyday. I am cold now as I speak. Well I guess I just have to wear lots of clothing... Hope you warm up soon. MaryLyn
