WHY AM I ALWAYS COLD?!

This being skinny thing is nice but it's pointless if all I do is put on more layers so I'm not freezing cold?! What is wrong with me? Is it just because I no longer have my polar bear fat anymore to keep me warm?

Yes, that is exactly why! You've lost all your insulation! lol :)

Layers.  Lots and lots of layers.  If you choose your fabrics wisely, you can still look trim while staying warm.

Lands End has some really nice fleece that is thin, but warm.  Not sure what it is called - Polartec?  maybe?

I almost always wear a t-shirt under everything, I am sometimes unbearably cold.  I tuck my fleece pajama bottoms into my socks because I can't stand 'drafts'!

Hate to break it to you, but it may get even worse.  I'm over two years out and even though I have been about the same for a year now weight-wise, this year I am MUCH colder than I was last year.  It was in the 50's in NC yesterday and I thought I was going to die... couldn't get warm!  Had to turn the heat back on and couldn't get on enough layers, lol...

Par for the course, worth the price regardless!  :)

 I've been told it's due to the release of the hormones that are trapped in our fat, as you loose the weight the hormones get out.  Now that what I heard, I have NO evidence to back it up

I am only 15 days post op and I have noticed the freezing sensation since I came home from the hospital. I was always the one to go out in 2 feet of snow with shorts and a tank top on with just a light jacket or hoodie. Now I have pants, socks, long sleeve shirt on just around the house and still wearing my winter jacket everyday outside and there have been 60 degree days, but I'm still cold.

You're not the only one!  I crank the heater to 74 to get warmed up and sleep with a down comforter at night when I dial the heater back to 68.  I leave the house in the morning with two jackets every day and I live in Southern Calif.
