Eileen, I STILL have this problem. Everything on the hanger looks too small. I take clothes out of the dryer and think, "Who the hell's jeans are these!?" It doesn't help that every store is different either. I can wear a 4 at one store, a 10 at another, and anything in between. Unfortunately, we have to try on everything we buy. Wish there was a better answer! lol

That is what I have heard from a ton of people who have lost alot of weight is that you are constantly freezing even in the summer.. not looking forward to that..

Last summer is the first time since surgery that I felt the heat. I blame Tracey. I figure it's easier to put something on than off. LOL

F*ck you *****!!! You are just 4 months behind me as far as surgery goes so you just caught up to me silly. I can feel the heat today and it's only 20C, wait til we get those days of 40C.

I've said this before, but I think it bears repeating.

My theory for post-WLS cold is because we are eating less, and hence, we are circulating less blood to process the food. Blood flowing causes your body heat to rise - and if you're eating less, less blood circulation = less heat produced. This, on top of losing our 'insulation' is what I believe causes the chills.

But I'd rather be cold that fat. I can always wear a sweater!

That's a theory - unproven, but hey, a theory nonetheless. Just like mine. lol

I've actually read that when we decrease our calories, our thyroid function slows down and causes us to be cold. Thyroid controls a lot of things like metabolism so it makes sense to me. Apparently if you eat foods high in Vitamin B and iron, and take Omega 3, it will help to reduce the cold feeling. Also certain foods interfere with thyroid function and should be avoided when losing weight.
