im a little over 3 months out and salad is like THE main thing i eat. I feel like its one of the few foods that doesnt make me feel full, goes down well actually makes me feel satisfied. i constantly crave grilled chicken caesar salad! dont worry! you can eat it!

i feel this way about chipotle! lolol i just want to PUNISH a chipotle!!! but i know ill never be able to!! : ( hahaha

try www.mybariatricpantry,com Pantry Selections fruit drink Protein powders! They are soooo good! Theyre only 15g of protein but taste better than ANY other powder ive tried. I dont even put mixers in them! with my syntrac fuzzy navel and strawberry kiwi i have to add in a zero calorie flavor pack but with the Pantry Selections ones they taste good alllll by themself, you taste none of that protein taste at all! theyre awesome and only 11.95 for the sample pack!!! everyone should really buy some!

i have a great recipie for a healthy pizaa if you like mushrooms! what you do is take a large portobello mushroom and cute the stem off and shave out all the little black hair things lol, this will be your bread. Then top with a small spoonfull of whatever pizza (tomato) sauce you prefer. Take a low fat mozzarella stick and peel it all up and place it all over the mushroom top, and then get some turkey bacon and add a few pieces, pop it in the microwave and boom! a delicious little pizaa for like 100-150 calories! and add whatever else toppings you like as well!!! hope you like mushrooms!!

that sounds soooo good! lol

you look GREAT! : )

I have thyroid issues too (hashimoto's thyroid) and had a very hard time losing weight! It was a struggle!! My doctor suggested I look into WLS and was very happy when I did decide to get it done. I had surgery on July 10th and as of this morning, I am down 65 pounds. I feel great.
The only thing I need to do now is see my doctor every 6 weeks for blood work. Because the weight is coming off quickly, he wants to monitor my TSH levels closely to make sure I am getting the right dosage of Levoxyl. He does not want me to go into hyper mode!
I initially wanted the band and after research, decided on the sleeve. My surgeon at first tried to talk me into the full bypass but for me that was too extreme as well. I am super happy with my sleeve. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
Good luck!!

my TSH levels are never normal as well, def a huge reason as to why its so difficult to lose weight/keep gaining weight! mine have been as high as the 200s, about to get bloodwork done tomorrow, so ill know what they are right now in a few days. im also interested to see if they'll go down and stay down after my surgery in 10 days.

My story is a bit like your guys! I dont have hypothyroidism, but have something similar. I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2010 and have had a total Thyroidectomy since then, so my TSH levels are kept up with Levoxyl/Levothyroxine/Synthroid. I have my surgery on November 29th! I also would like to follow along stories with patients with Thyroid problems! Looking forward to hearing about your success!!! <3
