An unexpected side effect of gastric bypass surgery is not being as tolerant of the cold as I was before. I say “the cold” like I live in the artic, when the truth is I live on the east coast of the United States, and our summer temps are usually in the high 80s and low 90s — and on those especially scalding days, upper 90s, with the occasional 100°+ day.
Right now I’m sitting in our living room wearing a tank top, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. Our ceiling fan is on, the air conditioner is off, and it’s at least 85° outside.
This past winter was brutal to get through. For purely frugal purposes we keep our indoor thermostat set to about 65°, which wasn’t bad at all the last several years. But this past winter? It SUCKED. I was always cold. 
I swear, I’m investing in an electric blanket before fall gets here!

I cannot wait to be cold again! I am always hot and sweaty and nasty. At the one point in my life when I wasn’t overweight (which lasted about a day) I didn’t get hot as often. It was a beautiful thing and I can’t wait 
Im just the opposite now I am ALWAYS sweltering because of the weight Im guessing and I haaaate it. I wish I was cold more often because I hate sweating lol
