Always freezing

Before wls my kids always made fun of me that I had hot flashes at 40 years old .. After surgery I can never get warm!!! I sleep with 3 blankets!! I find myself always saying how cold I am !! Is this normal does this happen to anyone else ? 

Anyone have any ideas besides a sweater to help me out !! 

Surgery was feb 24

and my weigh loss is 36lbs so far 

Try an electric mattress pad or electric blanket.  I use year round now.  I also have a plug in blanket for watching TV at night.  I got cold after surgery and stayed that way.

I had an electric blanket when I was a teenager, but my dad threw it away because he said I was cooking myself.  I never got another, because I would definitely cook myself.  I am so cold!

This happens very, very often. The only thing you can do is try to stay warm as best you can.

I'm always cold.  I bought some silk long-underwear which is surprisingly warm, and very thin.  In winter I'll wear a turtle neck, with a wool sweater, and I'll wear a down vest over the top! 

My hubby has a lot of allergies, so he does better at 65 degrees, and I'm happier at 76!  So its layers of clothing for me! 

good luck,

Carol

I was the same way.  I used to go outside in 10 degree weather in a t-shirt and just stand there to cool off.  I'd be the one in the pool when it was 75  - now... OMG.  I'm freezing all the time - I know carry an extra jacket in my car in case I need it and I have a blanket in my desk, to cover my legs when I get really cold.  

My surgery was April 14, but I have been wondering the same thing! I was never, and I mean never cold. But now, just cannot get warm. At first I thought it was the blood thinners maybe, but not on those anymore and still cold.

I'm always freezing now (13 months post-op).  My boyfriend is constantly stunned by the iciness of my hands and feet.

I've noticed that I can get warm, but as soon as a variable changes (heater shuts off, going outside) I can lose my heat really quickly and it seems to take even longer to get it back.  

Thanks everyone ..nice to know I am not alone .

i am gonna try more soups along with the extra layers 

too bad it is May and 45 degrees here in New York I bet that's not helping the problem either
