Strange... as an ex bander.. i thought i would be more prepared.

How were you feeling emotionally prior to your surgery?

If not for my thyroid disease, my recovery would have been rather smooth.

With the weight loss I am back to hyper thyroid, so back to insomnia and sweats.

Need my thyroxine dose adjusted down again.

And yes, as aussiegirl mentioned, once on solid foods I started feeling much better.

Good luck

Thanks so much for the support @krakow57...i also have hypothyroid and Hashimotos.. just another layer hey!

Hi @@judy vsg,

few of us here with thyroid issues. Welcome to the club

I have Graves disease, pain in the butt!

However I am hoping for some stability in my thyroid once I reach goal weight.

Have only been hypo for 1 month, 4 months after radioactive iodine treatment.

Can't wait for my Thyroxine levels to be lowered and stay stable.

How are you doing?

Hope you are well.

Hi @ thanks for asking. I have been seeing no change at all just so sore tired and miserable. I think i am hobbling around. So today i decided to do nothing but sleep and relax and watch TV. Just feeling a bit better for doing that today and being a bit kinder to myself! How you doin? ????

Yes, definitely relaxing and taking it easy is good. The stomach and the body need to heal, and can't be rushed.

As for changes, they do happen, but again they too take time.

For me, at 3 months I could see a big change, and now again at 5 1/2 months later, even bigger and better changes.

I am doing fine, just not sleeping well, which is a nuisance. Just waiting to see my endo, and my thyroxine dose should be lowered again, I think.

I will see her early September.

Heal up well, take your time, and before you know it, changes will happen!

I've been hypo for about 14 years, but then had thyroid cancer 8 years ago. My thyroid was removed. Been clear now for 6 years, thank god...

Thanks for asking...

make it a great day

@@judy vsg

Oh that's great that you have been cleared for 6 years now! That's fantastic.

Glad you are well!

I have been hyper most of my life, except when I had the RAI treatment.

Stable for a while, now back to hyper thyroid with continuous weight loss.

One day I'll be stable too.

Can't wait ..... tired of being awake at night.

It's funny... I've always wished I was hyper rather than hypo.. That way, the weight would just fall off...

make it a great day

Hope you get stable soon, krakow!

@@judy vsg

Yes, being hyper kept my weight off for most of my life, but it turned 2 years ago, while still hyper and I had a massive, rapid weight gain. I became one of those 5% hyperthyroid sufferers that gained weight!

I did not like my shaking hands, the sweats and feeling hot all the time, the irritability, racing pulse, high blood pressure, horrible headaches, muscle spasms, the runs and insomnia.

Now, with treatment most of those symptoms disappeared, except insomnia and feeling hot on and off.

Thank you for your well wishes.

Ok, so I may seem pathetic. However... won't stop me! I was sleeved 20th August, So just over 3 weeks ago. Off to see my surgeon tomorrow. I lost 5 kgs rather quickly , then NOTHING for the last week!! Too bizarre, everyone keeps saying it kicks in and then just comes off, but I have that feeling, as happens with me.... that will be the case with everyone else but not me.. doomed to be fat! Scaring me a bit, to go to this trouble and still be this size.. grrrrrrrrr.

Also suffering terribly from acid reflux and nausea, my stomach feels constantly like it is on the verge of food poisoning sort of grumbling and terrible diarrhoea the last 24 hours.

Just whinging really, but hoping and praying that one day my stomach will feel normal, not sensitive and high maintenance.

Thanks for listening. xxx

Hi and welcome!

You're only 3 weeks post op! Stomach takes 6 months to heal.

Welcome to your first stall, the 3rd week stall. You'll get through it. There will be other stalls, then more weight loss.

It is part and parcel of recovery.

Hope you get a script for acid reflux. Mine was really bad, and nothing else helped me except Nexium.

Now, 6 months post op acid is gone.

Also, I just had another stall that lasted over 3 weeks, but is shifting now.

Below is a link to another forum here on Stalls. Great reading!

Good luck!

Thank you @ you are precious. I appreciate your help.
