I have hypothyroidism too. I can tell when doses are off. I am thinking its off now. Heart racing lately. I know the signs and symptoms of both hypo and hyper. Maybe this surgery jacks up hormones and changes occur. How long ago did you get banded?

Add one more to your group! Banded June 12. My biggest concern was when can I get back on my bike, and would it bother me when riding. Rode about a month after, everything was fine. Now just gotta work on the regular exercise part and then good to go! Where do you all live? Any good riding in your area? I am in AZ.

I had my surgery 6/12/12! So right there with you. I started walking the day after surgery, By week two I was walking about 2 1/2 miles a day. I too wrote everything down that I ate. Getting in about 900-1000 a day. The weight was coming off super slow down a pound up half a pound. Total of like 6! Ugh Couldn't understand why? I was eating less working out more so why so little? So I tried a little experiment . Did opposite of what I had done last two weeks. Did not walk for three days, did arm weights ( light) kept on same calorie intake and have lost another 4 1/2 lbs! So my theory, I was working off every calorie I consumed. Leaving my body to go into the mode of hang on to what you got, because your not keeping it fueled appropriately. Not to mention just changing up routine to jolt body into another mode. So today back to walking and this is also the last day of liquids for me. Tomorrow will be interesting. Just not sure what sounds appetizing or "safe"! I'm so used to yogurt cottage cheese and muscle milk! So I am curious myself to see how week 4 will go. Hoping I continue to lose, I am happy with 2 A week. Just hope my theory was right!:-) Good luck. I am in need of a buddy and you seem to be in the same boat as me, Keep in touch!
