Recommended Posts

I just a couple weeks Pre-Op, Once sleeved was wondering if people with hypothyroidism share similar results with weight loss or is it slower?

I have had a partial thyroidectomy and I take 50mcg of Synthroid a day. I was sleeved 2/4 and in the days since, have lost 11 pounds. I think that is comparable to what most others have lost.

I take 75 mcg's of levothyroxine a day. The surgeon has never said anything about my weight loss being any slower. Hopefully not!! Good luck......

I take 40 mcgs of Synthroid daily and I'm actually ahead of what my surgeon estimated for me. I am 2 months out and down 70 pounds total. (30 preop, 40 since surgery).

I take 200 mcg. Bottom line if your TSH is betwern 1 and 2.5 you should be fine.

I've had hashimoto's for 11 years. I am on 125mcg of levothyroxine. I was sleeved on the 17th of December and have lost 36 pounds. My doctor is pleased with my weight loss ad has said it's above average.

I have hypo as well. I am about 4 weeks out. About 22 lbs. just did physical and now my meds are off. Changing from 125 to 100 mcg. Doc said may or may not effect WLS. Said if i follow program should have not much of an impact. But each person is different.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
