At a year and half out I am still freezing.  Used my heater at work all last summer.  Keep in mind that I used to be the person who had a fan running all summer and winter because I was so darn hot.

I prefer being cold because I can always add a layer.

i am 10 years out and sleep with an electric blanket year round in florida. i never get hot when walking or exercising like other people. so i just keep sweaters in the car and try to be happy i am not a sweaty mess anymore. it started right after surgery.

I'm just over 2 yrs post op and still cold.   pre op I was always hot, often to the point of sweating so this being cold was totally foreign to me.   In summer I run the ac because the house gets so hot, then have to wear my sweats because I get chilled so easily.   I've never in my life been able to wear a sweatshirt with a tshirt under it...until post op. I really am enjoying this change.  I'm in OR so it isn't terribly cold other than a few days a year.

Well for me, never.  I am almost 3 years out and I'm constantly freezing.  My fiance makes fun of me because when we go to bed I have like 3 layers of covers on me up to my neck and he's got on a sheet.  Hey, for me, its better than the alternative.  I had a hysterectomy when I was 39 and the hot flashes and night sweets are WORSE!  I take the lowest dose of Premarin now (I don't have my ovaries) and that issue is gone now.

But I know what you mean about the cold.  For me, these past few days here have been bitter, bone-chilling cold--the kind of cold that HURTS!  (I live in Nantucket).  Tomorrow when I go to work (its cold where we work too) I'm wearing a thick pair of tights under my one-size too big jeans that I just can't seem to throw away (now I know why! LOL) and I always wear layers--many of them!  I have to buy some wool socks online because my feet are so cold (the toes mostly) all the time inside my shoes. 

I guess our bodies were so used to the added 'insulation' we had (for me my whole life) that after we lose it, we're COLD! LOL
