Hi guys! I also have hypothyroidism. I take 25mg per day of Levothyroxine, and have been on the same dose since I was diagnosed about 7 years ago. Anyone else take that dosage? My surgery is schedule for 10/28/11 with Dr Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico. I'm trying to start my pre-op diet early (they want me to lose about 20 lbs) and it's already difficult. Weighed myself last night and no change. I think i'm also slightly hypoglycemic. I'm a sugar addict, but when I eat too much of it, I crash so i've been trying to do more protein and complex carbs, and trying to eat less in general but it's SO hard..which is the reason i'm getting the surgery, I can eat and eat and eat and don't get full. Can't wait to feel full again!
