This may sound weird but I pray that happens to me as well.
I am ALWAYS hot and sweaty, I can't stand it. Very embarassing sometimes when you're sweating for no reason.
I hope after surgery that I am no longer ho all the timet, I figure I can always add clothes if I'm cold but I can only take off so much if I'm hot...lol!!

Cold? Yes. It is especially bad in the evening and at bedtime. I have four quilts on my bed and a heated mattress pad. Lucky for me, my son usually wakes up in the middle of the night and crawls in bed with me. While I know I should kick him back to his own bed, I let him stay because he is so warm! And it also seems that once I get cold it is harder to get warm, no matter what I do. The only thing that works well is lots of movement. Then I get hot and peel off layers, then get cold, and the cycle contunues.
Like 00NewBeginnings00 I actually hope my thermostat changes some.
Winters are VERY mild in middle Georgia. I NEVER buy long or 3/4 sleeve shirts and certainly not a sweater. I am still hot when everyone else is cold.
I am looking forward to being able to but some jackets or vests when I invest in new clothes. I am always too hot now to wear anything but a short sleeve shirt (and some pants of course)

I know the secret to the fast weight loss. You end up freezing your A$$ off!
I'm in MD now. I was always like a Polar Bear, and NOW, I'm always Freezing. I took a special trip to the store today for long underwear which I only used to wear when hunting, and cross country sking in the Colorado Mountains. I bought an extra heavy winter coat, thicker, higer socks and polar fleece pullovers. I'm covering 3rd shift this week, and have a heater going full blast in my office while I hunker down with my hoodie on. Even cups of nice hot coffee aren't helping much. I head up to RI on the 23rd for an even bigger chill. Brrrrr.......I'm ready for Spring already.

I've always been hot...carrying sweat rags with me even in the winter time, even when I was a kid and young adult and not yet SMO or MO. Gross all the time. Two showers a day oftentimes. Etc.
I started freezing within the first week post-op. We are a one income family, and have our heat set at 62 (!!!!). I have to fall asleep under a heated throw and next to a space heater. I get up and turn them off after a couple hours and stay warm for most of the night and end up turning them back on very early in the morning. It's so weird to be wearing sweaters all the time, I'm glad my old hoodies are starting to fit again! I don't have a winter coat...I usually spend my winters in tank tops if I'm indoors, and a t-shirt maybe long sleeved if I go out. It's gonna be a long, cold, dark winter!
