RE: Re: heat wave yet freezing...

[Guest guest]

Jacque,

I went through about a 6 month period post reaching my goal -- while my

body was learning the " maintaining " part where I stayed seriously COLD

almost all the time -- with intermitened hot flashes -- for me, what had

happened was my body was making the " adjustments " in my blood sugar levels.

My heat and cold, then colder, then less cold and then a heat wave, dizzy,

weird feeling -- anyway... mine was related to the foods I ate / shakes /

food / and so on... I too contacted my surgeons office about it and they

were not concerned. Told me to drink a bit of orange juice when I got really

cold and to check for high carbs or fats in my foods when the heat flashes

would come.

It did pass once my body adjusted to its new life but it took time.... I

guess my body was trying to figure out exactly what it was supposed to be

doing now... I was a bit underweight too but decided the weight was fine

after a while and decided it was good to stay at the weight I was at (it

really wasn't underweight... just on the lower end of the scale of normal)

Anyway, I kept my weight " as is " and my body adjusted to this size and now

it has adjusted to what I feed it too... my body temperature will still

change slightly more than a normal persons when I eat something low-end carb

but I use that more as a reminder NOT to do that.

As the body fat that I had left moved around and got back into the places

it belonged and the longer everything had to " level out " the more normal my

body temp became.

It is good to check out anything medical that could be going on with your

body temp because it could well be a medical thing that needs medical

attention -- but, if it isn't -- just wanted you to know I went through a

phase like that too. It was worse for about 4 months and then noticeable for

the next 2 months but has been pretty stable now for well over 1/2 a year or

so....

hugz,
