Is this normal?

Hi Everyone

First off I wanted to thank everyone for all their advice and help since I started this journey. I had my Revision on May 5th and had some severe complications which made the doctors have to give me over 20 blood transfusions. I am doing great now and have been home since 5/12. My question is I have always been pretty hot natured. I usually sleep with just the sheet.  Now I realize that may lessen as I lose weight but I am only 3 weeks out  and I am always cold. Before the operation my skin radiated heat, now I feel like a popsicle. Can someone explain this to me?

Thanks everyone

Craig

 wow so glad you're ok Craig.. that must have been scary.  I have no reason why you.. WE are cold but I"m right there with you, I was always hot! now I'm freezing cold all the time, I hate it.. I feel like I can't get warm!  I'm looking forward to the next few days it's supposed to be over 80 here!

me too, thought this was only me, i need the heat on everytday and hardly get out of my coat, must be something to this. i was also always hot.....not anymore

Glad to and sad to hear I am not the only one. Thanks for your responses. Does anyone know why this happens?

Sorry about the complications, hope your recovery from here on out goes smoothly.

It's not uncommon to get cold even early out.  Some people experience for a short term and some of us I think forever.  I'm 6 years out and still ALWAYS cold.  Even now in the south (Louisiana) I'm using a space heater in my office daily and usually have a throw blanket on me at home.

Craig,

 So glad you are doing better. I am sure it was a stressful ordeal for you. After reading the other posts I am glad to know that I am not alone in this "cold all the time" state. I am almost 1 year out and right now I am sitting in my office wearing a long sleeve shirt and fleece jacket. On many days I wear 2 pairs of socks. At home, I wear socks to bed and cuddle under a blanket while watching tv. Perhaps we lost our insulators when we lost our weight. I will gladly continue to wear extra layers of clothing for the rest of my life rather than the extra pounds I was wearing.
It is a better tradeoff in my opinion.

I wish you much warmth and great numbers as you continue your weight loss journey. God bless you!

Maybe it's due to a change in metabolism?

Anesthesia will cause this as will weight loss.  You received a double wammy recently.
