feel like a frozen popsicle

Hi everyone,

Please tell me i am not the only one but i am feeling the cold so much. I know it is very cold but i don't seem to be able to get warm at all unless i have 2 duvets round me. Does any one else have this problem? Janey:needhug::bundledup:

I'm the same. Been sitting with a blanket around me every evening and still feel cold.

But would you be comfortable on the sofa Cuppa?

No seriously i am hot, but then i got lots of insulation. Those of you wannabe skinnies are losing all your built in insulation, i recommend Aldi, they got thermals (for ski-ing, but lets face it we got the weather) and may help with the coldness. Unfortunately as much as i've looked at them i can't imagine anyone finding long johns sexy.........

yes it is very very cold I have my fire and the central heating on and am still cold

Me too - one advantage of WLS - being able to put socks on - by myself woohoo

Apparently its because when one is obese the blood vessels expand to keep the core temp constant then when we lose the weight the vessels haven't the ability to contract and hence we feel the cold more than normal mere mortals - plus fat insulates haha

Think I prefer cold - though the jury is out lol

Yes, it is cold outside but I was just as cold last winter shortly after getting my bypass. It is a side effect of rapid weight loss that your body conserves energy. Also as mentioned the insulation decreases. I am ALWAYS cold these days, wearing multiple pairs of socks and jumpers. I have given my poor heater the workout lately, infact my cat is passed out under the heater right now, looks like she is sunbathing at the beach, so I must have the heater pretty high lol!

Seriously though, I used to laugh and smirk at the thin friends I had complaining about how cold they were, my answer was always 'then try eating something' haha didn't know how right I was. I would pick thin & cold every time tho! Just wondering do they make pjs that plug in? hmmm...

Been cold since I had my op. One thing about being thinner is its not as bulky wearing many layers.
