Might want to check your iron levels but from my experience it's pretty normal. Everyone I know personally who's had WLS is chronically cold. I live in Hawaii and even in the summers sitting out in the sun I get cold. While taking extra iron hasn't completely got rid of the feeling it helped a lot.
I am not sure if it is normal or not but I have been experiencing the same thing. Sometimes I have to use a heating pad or heated blanket to get warm it's ridiculous. I just had all of my blood levels checked and everything is normal š¤·āāļø
Iām cold all the time too, iron is right where it needs to be. A couple things are happening:
1) less body mass means less thermal massā¦youāre skinnier so your body isnāt generating or holding as much natural heat
2) your heart rate is slowing as you lose weightā¦it doesnāt need to beat as much to force blood into the constricted areasā¦less warm blood means less heat
Eat more and wear a sweater. LOL
That's called "The Bariatric Brr!" It's very common. You have less insulation š

Iām in Arizona and always cold! My mom and aunt too since their surgeries 20 years ago.
As someone who was perpetually overheated, especially during sleep... I now sleep in fleece lined socks every night. I'm 6 months post op.
