I'm cold all the time but basically I'm missing about 85 pounds of insulation.... that and your blood is thinner now.

My daughter Becca is always cold too and she has been thin her whole life, we are excited when she passes 100lbs. The thing is she's not anorexic or anything just some women in our family are tiny and she got their genes thank goodness!

Anyway the point is the lower your body fat, the lower you tolerance for cold. For those of you that just had the surgery, it could be a response to the medications...anathestia is hard ont he body and feelign cold isnt' unusal for a while after surgery.

Wear a sweater... I have one with me all the time. My boss bought me a floor heater cuz I complained all the time about how cold I am... he's such a sweetie
