Best investment EVER!
One of my best investments was fleece pajamas. I've always slept nude but now? No way, I'm too cold!

Is feeling cold a result of the VSG? I ask because I have run miserably hot for years and have hated it. I have been feeling cold at times this week...which is a big relief to me. :-)

Yes, lots of us get very cold after surgery. I know I certainly have. Mind you, I'm in Canada's capital, the coldest capital in the world (-32 today) and bugger me, but I'm frozen!
Before my VSG I could wear a T-shirt and open coat in the winter. Now? I sleep with the following:
- flannel PJs (fleece for around the house)
- heated blanket (turned on 7 to heat up and relax in bed, 4-5 for all night long)
- heating pad (low to medium heat for my feet)
- fuzzy socks
- two magic bags heated in the microwave (one on my torso, another near my shoulder)
- a 10-lb cat against my hip or on my chest! (he loves me, what can I say?!)
No wonder hubby says he can't get near me! LOL

I have one that I use at home . . . if only I could use it at work! This is the first time in my life that I have ever been cold and this winter I am FREEZING all the time! I still prefer being cold to being hot all the time.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. Henry David Thoreau
