I'm wondering why your surgeon would take you off of your thyroid meds?? My advice would be to go to your PCP and have blood work done and get back on your thyroid meds. The thyroid is not something to mess with and I am surprised he took you off the meds instead of monitoring your thyroid and adjusting your meds as needed. I have been on thyroid meds for the last few years and have blood work done every six months (or sooner if I feel symptoms) and my meds are adjusted as they need to be. Since my surgery my dosages have been changed twice, my PCP watches it very closely.

oops sorry about that i thought i was tooken off my thyroid pill but it was a different pill he took me off of i get my spironolactone and my thyroid pill mixed up lol

Hey everyone, i am fustrated and confused i have been gaining weight and i was sleeved on july 6th and even though its only 2 pounds.. i have gained another pound today and im afraid its gonna get worse.. i mean i am eating what i am suppose to be eating, i walk everyday i eat very little and im taking my Vitamins and Protein but i also have a problem with my thyroid and starting to think maybe that could be it, i was on medicine for it but my surgeon took me off it but is this normal?? has anyone else has had this problem?

wow im so sorry about that. i cant believe someone would do that Glad your safe though!

i also have a thyroid problem ive had it ever since i was in the 5th grade but i take medication for it and had my sleeve done on july 6th with no problems

your not alone i am having the same problem i feel hungry all the time but i think for me its just cause of boredom but i have been walking to avoid eating when im bored and that has helped

welcome you'll love this forum, alot of great people on here

I am 11 days post op and I am having a hard time getting in 11oz of a Protein shake much less the Water, broth, etc, etc. I get nauseous and my tummy gets bloated and hurts like crazy if I eat more than 2 oz at a time. I had to buy some Protein "bullets" today to try and get in my protein quota =( I'm not sure how your tummy is handling this much, maybe you should call the doc and ask?

yeah its a bit strange how much sleeve is handling all this food.. but im gonna force myself not to overdo it

Wolfgirl1978 Thank You so much for that! that helps alot

Congratulations! im happy for you

thanks for being honest i also have a habit of eating when im bored but have been trying to walk to avoid that im going to do better and try not too eat too much thanks for your support

Hi everyone i just gotten my sleeve on july 6th and so far today i have been ate 3 small bowls of chicken broth (not all at once) 3 sugar free popsicles, a mashed banana it was almost like baby food and now i just had me some fat free yogurt.. not too mention 2 protien shakes and alot of water.. i think im eating too much i just feel soo hungry idk if its just because im so use to eating or what but i really do miss regular foods i feel like eating a big chicken strip or something but i just gotta remember how bad i wanted this and i have been struggling with my weight for as long as i can remember...it all started with me having a problem with my thyroid but yeah so am i eating to much in 1 day? i wish this was easier for me.

Yes! I Finally Have My sleeve and i did pretty well in the hospital i was just in ALOT of pain when i woke up from sergruy i was crying and was hoping the pain would stop but the nurses gave me pain medication and the pain went away thank god!. i was in the hospital for 3 days just got home yesterday and i am having trouble keeping my protien shakes down i feel nauseous when i drink it but i have not vomited yet and hoping i dont, i'm still a little sore but i have pain medication so that helps and i dont have a drain just five little insicions, I Am also having trouble keeping my fluids down it kinda hurts when i drink my Water but it has gotten better. I Was sooo nervous going in for my sergury but when it was over i was happy i also had gas pain but that has gotten alot better too so overall i did real good in the hospital and i am excited to lose this weight and for a healthier life

Congrats!! i am also getting Sleeved tomorrow

i've been drinking the advanced whey portien, i think its rather good. When i was gonna get the gastric bypass sergury my nurse actually suggested me to drink that. You can add Water with it or milk i perfer the milk though its more tastey

Mine was june 26th but something came up and hadda post poned it, So now its set for July 6th! this friday i cannot wait

Congratulations!!. I Am Getting Sleeve This Friday!.. Very Excited

i was also told 6 weeks

june 26 here!

Soooo i am now worried that i will have alot of excess skin after my sugery,, my mom just got off the phone with the doctor cause she wanted to ask them a couple of questions and excess skin was one of them, the doctor said that insurance may not pay for surgery to get rid of it and i currently have alot of it specially on my arms.. but im also still young i just turned 22 so im thinking maybe i wont have exsess skin after words but anyways my question is has anyone around my age have had surgery to get rid of excess skin and did theyre insurance pay for it? i am very excited and looking forward to having the sleeve but now im just worried about the skin hanging

well thanks for being honest guys.. i spose everyones different and i guess i will just have to wait and see what my body does
