I was told your thyroid medicine should be taken in the morning alone by itself. No eating until a bit after you take it. This pill is helping your thyroid to function. The purpose of your thyroid is metabolism. I may be wrong, but it's what I have been doing for years. Hope this helps. DOS 12/17/12

There was a girl named Eva Chavez on the November 2012 boards who had a terrible surgery go wrong in Mexico. Here was her first post post op: My surgery went very bad I am typing this from the ICU of an American hospital in San Diego. I am not well enough to type the whole story but my mother had to call the American Consulate to get me out. He refused me pain meds telling me I was complaining over nothing and he screwed up during the surgery and caused internally bleeding which he had to completely cut me open for. My stitches are oozing tons of blood and I am waiting on an OR and surgeon to take me back into surgery. BEWARE of Dr Quinones in Tijuana Mexico DOS 12/17/12

Can you eat both of those? I can only eat the small can of tuna that comes with crackers. DOS 12/17/12

Glad I'm not the only one! I guess we truck along and pray it gets better. DOS 12/17/12

If you crush your meds still try sugar free chocolate syrup on spoon and add your crushed meds and mix. You can't taste any of the bitterness at all. DOS 12/17/12

Great news! Congrats! DOS 12/17/12

Cream of chicken breasts. Ingredients 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 pinch poultry seasoning 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1 (10.75 ounce) can milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish and season to taste. Mix soup with soup can of milk/half-and-half/water (if desired, use 2 cans to make sauce thicker). Pour soup mixture evenly over chicken and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is no longer pink and is tender. I used chicken tenderloins and I cooked in a pan first and seasoned not completely just a little. I cooked in oven 30 min. I served with cauliflower mashed potatoes. Yum. http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/8858/recipecream-of-chicken-breasts DOS 12/17/12

Let us know how you make out! Hugs! DOS 12/17/12

Ok so maybe it's me, but I'm finding that putting a meal together isn't fun and eating it just sucks. Say your having chicken with mashed cauliflower. Well you have to eat your protein first and by the time you even get to the veggie it's cold and your full. Haven't even tried salads. That would make me even more mad. So it's like why bother. I'd rather eat chili. Guess I'm having a pissy day today. DOS 12/17/12

Think thin brand chunky peanut butter. Yum! DOS 12/17/12

I tried a protein bar last night. Yum! Found a great on the go alternative. I'm going to Disney in April, so these will come in handy if I'm stuck in a line for too long. Lol DOS 12/17/12

I use lactose free fat free milk (supermarket brand) with my shakes. I can tolerate cheese and yogurt fine. DOS 12/17/12
