Re: Thyroid Disease after surgery??

[Guest guest]

I have hypothyroid and I lost 165 pounds with the surgery. I still

take my synthroid everyday, in fact it might need to be raised(my

opinion, I havent had it checked yet). Hypothyroidism is NOT something

that will be cured with weight loss. It does make maintenance a little

tougher, the loss a little slower but all in all not enough to be a

hindrance.

Just a thought . . . maybe your thyroid levels have changed and

that's the reason you're struggling with your weight now. Maybe you

need to get them checked again??

I just went to see my PCP to discuss possible causes and he said my

last blood work 6 weeks ago showed that they were fine. I didnt even

know he had requested a thyroid check. LOL I really think its all

the protein shakes and grazing I was doing. After talking to Dr

Fisher yesterday, I am not doing them at all now, unless its a long

time between meals and I did not prepare a low cal protein snack like

a yogurt.

TIM..Where do you find the Hood yogurt again? I cant seem to find it!!

, I don't know if you have Raley's in the Bay Area, I never found any

when I lived there, but Bel Air and knob Hill foods are the same, and I

think you have Knob Hill Foods there. If there isn't one close to you,

then try Albertson's. I have never seen the Hood there, but I have found

Cannon light and fit carb control yogurt, and it is an acceptable

substitute. It is also a good size for a snack, being only four ounces

with sixty calories. LaWanda At 10:51 AM 7/14/05, you wrote:
