    Thyroid Question

    Does having no thyroid at all = hypo? I've wondered about that. I'm losing pretty well so far on pre-op diet. 9lbs in 10 days. But thats on all liquids except a lean dinner. 9lbs is a big deal since it would normally take a year to lose 5 just to gain back 15. The struggle is real with no metabolism. I gained 70 my first year after having it removed. I'd give anything if modern medicine would figure out how to do a transplant.
  2. Hi everyone, I've been reading for a while but never posted. I am currently 3 appointments away from completing all my pre-surgery requirements. My Dr. says I need to drop 14lbs before surgery. I was wondering if any of you have had their thyroid removed? I had mine taken out about 7 years ago and my weight gain just escalated from there. My concern was the 14lbs but so far I'm doing great. I don't have a surgery date yet and have started seriously cutting back. No sodas, very minimal carbs, Protein drinks during the day and a very light high Protein meal for dinner. I've lost 8lbs in 6 days. I worry about how I'll do after surgery and if anyone has heard how those with no thyroid do after surgery. Its typically extremely hard for me to lose even a few pounds. Thanks for any feedback and good luck to everyone.
