Pre-op Thyroid problems and Post-Op affects!!

[Guest guest]

I have been stuck between 310 and 303 for the last 3 to 4 weeks(9 weeks post

op today). I was having trouble getting in my protein but for the last week i

have gotten 80+ grams of protein and my 64+ ounces of water. I also ride the

exercise bike at least 15 minutes a day. It was more but things have been soooo

hectic around here thats all i can fit in right now! (Life with a 3 yr

old...LOL)

I did start yesterday and cut back to NOTHING but Liquids again. Yesterday I

did my shakes (which I mix with milk) and The juice from some chicken noodle

soup! I plan to do the same for a couple more days. Hopefully it will get

something kick started...but here is my question!

Preop I was on synthroid for my thyroids. My surgeon took me off of it until

I got my postop bloodwork done so they could recheck my levels fresh (without

meds) and get the right dosage I need post op...Preop my thyroids were REALLLY

off and my thyroid specialist says part of the reason I gained almost 100

pounds since the birth of my daughter 3 years ago! So now I am wondering if my

thyroids may be part of the reasoning behind this platuau at soooo early out?? I

have lost 62 pounds and very proud of that but I have been around that loss

for about 3-4 weeks now. Kind of discouraging to hit a brick wall.

Anyone have thyroid trouble preop that has caused such problems postop??

Thanks for taking time to read this and sorry if it doesn't make any sense.
