Since I have lost my weight, I am cold all the time, I live in Fl and I
have to wear a jacket every where I go and I go to bed at night with socks
on. One of the issues with weight loss. I rather be cold and skinny than
heavy and hot! My two cents!
Good luck!

I live in Maine, and I used to complain about being cold all the
time...Maine is cold, but I was unnaturally cold even inside. It didn't
hit me until someone said..."you have less insulation than you used
to." I just bundle up and enjoy having less insulation! I find that
layering works better than one bulky item. Wear socks, slap on a turtle
neck and enjoy your weight loss! I am hoping that we will eventually
become accustomed to the cold.

I'm early on into my journey. I had surgery on March 3rd. I'm down 27 lbs
and three sizes and definately find myself chilly at times. I'm starting to
layer too.

Please have your thyroid levels checked. I have hypothyroidism (my thyroid
does not put out enough of the thyroid hormones) and I too was always cold
(especially my feet). I take medication now that gives me the extra
hormone that my body no longer produces, and this is better. People with
this condition typically are overweight, and have little energy. They
often have a hard time losing weight even though they do not eat much. The
thyroid is one of the things that helps regulate your body's metabolism.
It regulates temperature, and how much energy your body uses. Another
thing I do is wear slippers when my feet are cold. I even wear them to
bed. Socks cling too much and make my feet itch, and blankets do not warm
my feet. The slippers are loose enough to allow some air to get to my
skin, but tight enough to keep the heat near my feet. I find this helps
quite a bit. I hope this helps.

I had my surgery in Dec '09, and I stayed cold. I layer my clothing for
the most part. My doctor gave me iron to take and that helps a lot. But
having let to insulate is definitely true :-) So bare with it for awhile
summer is coming and I find myself peeling off the sweater and jackets
quickly. It will eventually get a little bit better.

level is low. Anyway time to do blood work for me, two months and two weeks

Getting cold is part of surgery Dr. Forget to tell you. It does get some
better as your body level out. So don't be ashamed to wear a jacket or
coat. There is nothing wrong with you.
