 It is hard to be hot if you don't stoke the furnace, I think that speaks to the fact that calories are fuel. I have had some weight regain and I am not "as" cold as I was last year, but it I totally love warmer weather now.

I work at 3pm Saturday afternoon and I have to do my grocery shopping before that, so I just thought I'd throw this out there...


Is ANYONE interested in grabbing a cuppa coffee sometime Saturday morning???  It's been a LOOOOOONG time!

Yup, being a freeze baby is really 'normal' after WLS!  Even 4.5 years out, it takes some SERIOUS HEAT and exertion for me to actually SWEAT!  95+ and humid?  Maybe.  But I'll take it!

I remember when I was 'full size', I used to have a direct sales business for a company selling home accessories.  I can't believe how nasty drippy sweaty I would get doing my demonstrations, I had to keep a small hand towel in case I actually dripped!  Hauling everything in, setting it all up, the nerves doing the demo, taking orders, then disassembling the whole display and carrying it all back out.... crap, you'd think I'd have lost weight I sweated so much!

Oh well - it's easier to add layers and blankets when you're cold...  you can only take so much off when you're hot!

You really need to get your depression under control before you get any more surgeries. Plastic surgery doesn't just magically make your body into a model....You'll still have issues with it. Get your depression in check first and maybe some body image therapy before going into plastics. You need to be 100% healthy for that!

This is supposed to be the link. Don't know what I did to mess it up. I guess you'll have to do the copy and paste thing.

 Is there a link with this?  I'm really interested.  I'm dying for my internal thermostat to cool down!

This may help explain why we get cold following WLS. I always used to run "hot". I always said it felt like my internal thermostat was turned up. Now, I really feel the cold and have to bundle up. Not good with the coming Minnesota winter!


"a fall in temperature is an important part of the adaptive response to energy deprivation (as in dieting)."
