YIPPEE!! my thyroid is shot

[sanama 5]

I have hypothyroid and the weight loss is awfully slow. On my 1 month post op my nutritionist was very unhappy with the NO LOSS. He thinks it has to do with my thyroid. I am not consuming as much food or cal yet the weight don't seem to come off.

I would like to know if it would be good idea to see a specialist (endocrinologist) or just my regular doctor.

I am very disappointed with this. Sometimes it feels as if nothing ever will work for me. :001_tt2::thumbup:

I would def see an endocrinologist to manage your thyroid levels. they test more than just the TSH that most regular Dr's just test you for.

Your experience is what i'm totally afraid of. :thumbup:

i'm on synthroid also and you'll be amazed at how much of a difference it makes. The thyroid not only controls metabolism but can also effect your mood too. A few times throughout the years I've been slack on getting my Rx filled and I can definately tell the difference...once you're on meds though it's for LIFE. Good luck with the remainder of your weight loss...if you do need medication the rest should just MELT off. :001_tt2:

it feels silly to ask this but, what ways can I rev up my metabolism without drugs? I do a brisk treadmill walk for 30 min every morning and take in 600 cals a day with 70+ grams of Protein.< /p>
