I was sleeved 8th March 2016

My weight and BMI are below, in my signature.

I have lost over 21kg (46 Ib), and had 2-3 major stalls.

Had lot of reflux issues earlier on, now controlled with Nexium.

I also have an auto-immune thyroid disease, if not for the thyroid, my post WLS journey has been rather smooth.

I am happy with my results, and keep plodding on :)

OzRoo, I too have an auto-immune thyroid disease. Now I found out I have 2 large nodules causing problems. I may need surgery.

I had surgery on March 7th. Last week I lost 80 lbs. This week I gained 4! I was so upset. I was trying to figure out how could this of happened. Then I realized that I was so busy baking for Christmas that I haven't been taking my meds. What a relief. Now I can get back on track.

Yes, this autoimmune thyroid disease can really make life difficult. I am sorry to hear about the 2 large nodules.

Hope that you get this resolved soon and with success!

Congratulations on your great weight loss! Well done!!!

Yes, the meds can throw a curve ball, I am glad that you found out the cause.

With my med, I always put it on my bedside table, so I take it first thing in the morning when I wake up.

The rest stays in the fridge, but I cut out 4 blisters, and each night I put one in a tiny dish on my bedside table.

This way, I don't forget.

2 doses adjustments ago, my med was halved, and even though my blood tests came back "normal", I was in the higher end of TSH, and I really noticed the difference! I did not feel too good.

So the dose was increased, and now I am back to hyper symptoms .....

Another dose adjustment now .....

I am glad you are back on track! Christmas can be such a busy time .....

When my med was halved, my weight loss stopped.

Now my scales are still not budging, but at least I am shrinking.

Best Wishes to you :)

I'm glad they got you back on track. Inches mean a lot. That's awesome! The pounds will be next.

That's a good idea about putting the medicine on the night stand. I'm going to try it. Thanks.

Have an enjoyable holiday!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
