Feeling tbe cold ao much ??

Hello all , I had my gastric bypass two weeks ago and can't stop shivering and feeling cold anyone else feel the cold more ? X been told it's xos I have lost a lot of weight ?? X

Hi Andiebee,

I am only 5 weeks off but have also started to feel the cold. Mind you, it is a change from feeling hot all the time, which I hated.

Your are on the early days of post op/recovery period. You are probably eating very little and I think that might be the reason for feeling cold.

Keep warm and wish you speedy recovery from the op.

I'm 10mth post op, over 13st down and permanently freezing. I get it twofold as I have a non-functioning thyroid which makes me even more sensitive to cold. I can't win but at least I can now wear some great knitwear, so I'm actually enjoying it lol x x

I'm always frozen too!

Yep 16 months out. Always frozen! Particularly hands and feet xx

Not just me then lol, I am doing so so well no pains no problems tried so many foods different veg and meats cheeses and yogurts and never dumped at all , my hospital Sunderland royal what films the Sunderland weight loss ward don't let you start off on liquids it's pureed stage straight away so having about 4 tablespoons of food each meal and 2 snacks such as 1 cheese triangle and 1 yogurt inbetween the meals and x2 1/3 of a pints of skimmed milk a day all on my diet sheet plus tablespoon of fruit pureed in with yogurt , I am so lucky never dumped, vomited etc touch wood as of yet with any food , I have lost 4 stone so far 2 pre op on own 1 stone on milk liver reduction diet and another stone since operation so maybe feeling it more seen as I haven't got my extra fat stores on any more maybe ?

That's me Nicola hands and feet lol I am like a moaning old woman atm hahaha got heating on full and loving my onsie again hahah xxxxx

3 years out and still cold all the time. Invest in some thermal vests and welly socks. I keep mine on till at least the end of May.

I always was a cold person, strange with all the blubber around me, but now its even worse, I have the heating on all the time, my o/h sits in shorts, on the bed I've always had a 14 tog feather duvet even in summer when i was over 21 st, now I have a 14tog an 8 tog, a heavy fleece blanket and I wear thick pj's, and usually the bedding is doubled onto me as o/h doesnt want his

It's very strange isn't it hahaha I seen aloy like you too x

I was once told by my dietican that once I lose a whole heap of weight I will start to always feel the cold, boy she was not wrong! 8 stone post WLS ,12 stone altogether I have taken to wearing 2 pairs of socks , a wolly hat even 2 cardigans and gloves!
My bed has 2 extra blankets on it !

I am so glad it's not just me! I am 3 weeks post op and I am constantly cold. My hands and feet are really bad. It's driving my hubby mad, I was always hot before, we never had the heating on and windows were always open....now the heating on full blast and I go round shutting the windows!!

Wow lol so I have to get used to it hahahah. I have only lost 4 and a half stone and a stone of that is off the bypass 2 weeks and the rest off pre opp diet and target weight loss etc, it's mad isn't it I must buy some warmer clothes lol x

Yep always freezing cold these days!! Unfortunately my coldest bit is my nose - really need a nose muff!!

Yep, another one here that is always cold and I can't stand it. I'm so glad it's spring and things are starting to warm up a little but my feet and hands seem to be cold all year round. Makes me wonder if it is my circulation but I never felt cold before my op. Lots of fat to keep me warm and I started to feel the cold pretty early on. It's a bit of a running joke with my partner as I always warm my hands and feet on him. Especially at bed time lol. Luckily he is a warm person so that helps. He always says to me, cold hands, warm heart. Which is sweet. I don't have any thermals but he has given me one of his fleeces and I wear that under my coat and if I'm really cold I will wear pj bottoms under my trousers lol It's a bit rubbish at times but I would still rather be chilly than 26 stone again

I met a guy at the hospital who is 16yrs post bypass and he said he is always cold. In fact he touched every radiator as we walked through the hospital

Being almost 5 years since my bypass...I've always been cold ever since this op.
Obviously when I was big we had extra fat layers...now when I can't warm up I've been known to take a couple of baths a day to warm up.
My feet can be like ice blocks so I have to wear 2 pairs of socks...and it can be quite painful when they are extremely cold.
As a previous member mentioned I wondered if it's a circulation thing now.
