Congrats, great news!

There are two different blood tests for thyroid and some docs do not check off the TSH box. it is possible for the other test to come back "normal" but the TSH still be off. Not sure I understand why but that is what I was told. So, bottom line the TSH from what I understand is the definative test. Sorry you have this additional issue to deal with but mine stays pretty well under control. I take my synthroid in the morning along with my multi vit, D3 tablet and my antidepressant and I am good to go!! You will be too!!

I could care less what anyone else thinks about my choice. My BF is very supportive as he wants me healthy and he can see that I am starting to suffer from being overweight. If she was my BF I would simply tell her that you know she cares for you but that you need to do so you can live a healthy, happy productive life from here on and that you need her total support without critizisim. I have not told my sister or my one brother yet as I know they will rag on me and truth be told it simply is none of their buisness. Good luck with your journey, Diane

I too have had hypothyroidism for most of my adult life. Have to take one pill a day and get labs done at least once a year or more if I start to feel sluggish and easy fatigued. I had been readjusted several times over the years. I know when it goes off as my hair starts to fall out and I am very tired. I have also had heart palps but as soon as the meds are adjusted and my blood levels get where they need to go I am fine. Good luck!

You look great, thanks for the inspiration!!

Oh my...... Glad you pulled over and are ok.

Hi, I feel the same way and my sleep study is this Friday. I do not travel well because I tend to not sleep much anywhere other than home sweet home. This will be interesting. I was told that some places give you something to help you sleep, so we will see. Good luck and I will post to let you know how it goes for me.... Take care, Diane

I am totally peeing my pants from reading this thread!! Thanks so much, had a tough day at work and this really helped my spirits!! It has also educated me on sharts and productive flatulence !!!

I have been told to start a high protein diet right now and have no idea as to when my surgery will be. I am using various protein shakes with foods high in protein. I also know that I willbe on a ten day liquid diet prior to day of surgery and that is worrisome to me ;(
