I will never go to an ENDO doc again. I am seeing a functional doctor now and hope that will really help me out. So far he has run more tests and offered more assistance than any endo. They dont want to get to the root cause, just treat symptoms.

what is camp gladiator? Sounds tough! I am interested to know if you all did good on Keto and how many carbs a day? I am NOT feeling well these days at all

Sherrie, I sent you a PM and would like info on the group you mentioned. Berry78, I have just wondered if Keto worked for anyone after WLS, especially anyone who also suffers from Hashimoto Thanks! Sue

Hi everyone, New to this group! Glad I have found it. I had WLS back in 2004. I have regained alot of weight. I do suffer from Hashimoto which is such a journey in itself! I tried Keto not long ago and loved how I was feeling. However, because of the weight loss surgery I cannot eat alot of meat. I loved the good fats and how they make me feel and the low carb really help with getting down the inflammation that I suffer from..... I was working with a gal and her team that had great success on Keto diet and was hopeful, however they cannot relate to the WLS. While I was loosing, after a bit of time I became VERY constipated, to the point of worry. I was taking stool softener & laxatives and wasn't able to go!!! So with that said I need another plan. I think the combo of WLS and hashimoto means I need a bit more carbs .....and not so much meat. So I am thinking of pulling out the protein shakes again. I remember when I really enjoyed them for awhile. However, I know I cannot live on them... Anyhow...thoughts, stories to share? Thanks! (I also have a thread on this group about how I now see I am malnurished....getting tested next week....I can tell my vit levels are low!)

I am 55 years old. I had a hysterectomy in 2014 (which they cut me wrong and I ended up with 4 surgeries in a week! I mention this as this truly was so traumatic on my body, so much was depleted I feel I have never gotten back....I gained 50 lbs in the hospital, and have never lost back down to my original weight upon going in. I still deal with severe inflammation) I only have one ovary now. I do not smoke. I do not drink. I am not having neuropathy in my feet. I am told my numbers are good and I do not have pre-diabetes. My symptoms are brain fog, vision issues at night, I suddenly get very fatigued, lack of concentration, random sores on my body do not heal for months at a time, weight gain, and inflammation.

This is reg family doc. Frankly, my surgeon does less testing than family doc will. Not sure what you mean by a panel I have listed as I didn't list one. I was only mentioning that I have had my vitamin D, ferretin, and b12 tested a couple of weeks ago. To get a full blood work every year you have to really beg as they do not feel it is necessary.

Had Roux-en-Y gastric bybass back in 2004. I continue to battle Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism however I have seen recently I have symptoms deficiency ....severe brain fog, so tired I could drop asleep anytime, sore that do not heal for months on end, hair thinning, among other things. I am going back on the 13th for more blood tests & I will be requesting for a more serious look at my levels. What would you suggest I ask for bloodtest ? (I have already had Vit D, Ferretin & B12. Anyone else have issues like this many years postop? Thanks!
