Body temprature

I'm three weeks post op today, and all is going really well. Except for the fact I'm always cold. I can never keep my hands and feet warm. Does anyone else have this problem post op?

Hi had my op 2 weeks tomorrow. Hands and feet ok but my nose is like a block of ice all the time.

Same here. I'm only 18 days post op but apart from the day when I burnt my arms and legs in the sun, I'm always cold!,

I'm 5 months post op and felt very cold in the early days. I would shiver in bed with two winter duvets on but for me feeling cold these days is less and less.

Thanks for the guys, I was one of the warmest people and hardly ever felt the cold it's so weird. I went to the coast yesterday, it was a gorgeous day but I didn't think it was warm as there was a really cool breeze coming from the sea, on several occasions I considered putting on my jumper. Got home and found it I had burnt... not good

Well yeah... I mean, it's not the same reply for everyone, but those who have lost a lot of weight... you've also lost a lot of insulation! Thin people tend to be colder than fat ones, fact of life and science!

Glad I'm not the only one- wrapped up like a mummy and wearing thick cardis in the sun!

Haha no your not. I get the fact that we may have lost body fat and that's the reason why we feel the cold. But my issue started just after surgery when I wasn't as light as what i am now. I was freezing in hospital even with a jumper on, my hands nose and feet are permanently cold !

Well if your nose is cold, that's a sign you're in good health, right?

Hi I can't bear being so cold. On a night I shiver! Have started having hot showers before bed to warm me up x
