Hi everyone. Just looking for advice. I am hypothyroid. I had the sleeve surgery in may of 2013. I did very well the first 6 months. But since then I've had problems with stalls. I've currently been stalled for months. Has anyone else experienced this same problem and how are you dealing with it?

I too have hypothyroidism and had problems with stalls. I had to decrease my dose of medication by half after loosing 100 lbs. This did slow my weight loss but usually only for a few weeks. When I hit my 1 year mark my weight stalled big time. My current weight has fluctuated between 150 and 158 for the past 3 months. I have recently had my labs done and everything is within the normal limits. I have tried "going back to basics" to try and restart the weight loss but has not had any real success.

I know this has not given you any helpful information but I do understand your frustration with stalls.

I had hypothyroidism and hashimotos, an autoimmune disease due to thyroid. I ended up having to have a thyroidectomy 2 years ago and boy!! I packed on the pounds! I'm hoping the sleeve helps. I have read articles are the subject and from what I understand, stalls ate very common for people living us. Did you loose normally at first?

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
