Hot Versus Cold

Thanks Julie!  That's always nice to hear.  I had a partial hysterectomy 25 yrs ago and the rest removed 10 years ago.  I was on estrogen for about 5 yrs and then stopped taking it and used a natural supplement which I haven't needed in about 3 years...so its just a mystery I was curious about to see if other WLS folks had the same thing.  HUGS  Jeanine

I believe your estrogen levels go up as you lose weight, not down.  Your fat releases estrogen.  But I could be wrong.  Anyway, I'm just cold all the time.  Except at night next to my furnace, er, I mean husband.  Then I'm finally comfortable, and sweating by morning. 

I hear ya!  I should prolly see the GYN since its been like 4-5 years!  No female parts to check and I do self breast checks and had a mamo last year.  Oh Lord...that just gave me a painful visual!!  That hurt before...how will they check these pancakes now?? I thought estrogen went up with weight loss too which would explain increase in libido (which I'm still waiting for )  qqI'm just gonna enjoy this journey and take the bad with the good.  HUGS  Jeanine

I'm the same way, mostly at night.  Freeze, fry, freeze, fry.  Some nights my feet are like ice cubes, so I wear heavy socks and then kick them off because my feet are boiling! Living in CO doesn't make it easy, it can be 2 degrees at 9 AM and 60 by noon, so I've just learning to layer my clothing both inside and outside, and strip as needed. Kix

Yes...my daughter lived in Greeley for 2 years...anywhere near you?  Guess its just something I will learn to live with.  If thats the only hurdle during this journey...I will gladly jump over it!  HUGS  Jeanine

Jeanine, Mostly, I am just COLD.  Lately, I've had some times when I've been warm or hot and at other times, I just have not REQUIRED a jacket or sweater or hoodie.  It has been nice to feel "comfortable".  This morning, I got HOT in the pool working out and had to take off my rash guard ( a special shirt I wear in the pool to keep warm on cold days).  The last couple of nights, I've had to kick covers off my bed to cool down a bit.  I feel like I'm finally adjusting to the insulation changes.  I haven't had hot/cold fluctuations, but it is probably related somewhat to your weight loss.

Thanks for responding Jenny....I guess I'll just have to live with it. I was just curious if anyone else had the same experience.  HUGS  Jeanine

Unfortunately it's not often anymore that I'm hot, I'm always freezing cold! Guess I don't mind, it's easier to get warn than to cool down though.

Jeannie, You look so GOOD. Not only thinner BUt you are really healthy looking.  I am always cold and hot. That has just started this winter before that i was just cold, go figure. I am past menapause. at 61 But you keep it up cause your lookin great !!! Your weight loss sister, Pam

Aaawwwwwwwwwww thank you so much!!  I know...isn't it the strangest thing?  But hey...its a small price to pay for ongoing results, eh?  I appreciate your compliments.  High Five!  HUGS  Jeanine
