I was supposed to have surgery on 6/19- with my pre-op diet starting today (6/12). I had a tsh thyroid test on Thursday of last week and the results came back horribleeeeeeeeee. They were at an all time low of 0.04 in April, so my PCP lowered the dose to 88 mcg and I retested to see where they were before surgery. Get ready, they came back at 47! No point in there; FOURTY SEVEN! So we upped it again and retested today. I am hoping it was a glitch, because it has never been that high and I have no symptoms. But the surgeon called today and said it was canceled until I can get it at 10 or below. And that is still high. If you pray, please pray it was a glitch and I can reschedule surgery. I am so disappointed :(

Praying for you! That must be a glitch. I have never heard of tsh that high. That reminds me I need to have my levels checked soon.

The TSH still came back extremely high, but better, at 28. So we are retesting in 2 weeks to see where we are. Hopefully it will be low enough for surgery. If we can't find a good dose, my PCP is referring me to an endocrinologist

Ugh. So sorry. I have hashimoto disease and my TSH numbers can be all over the place. Hoping they can get your levels right so you can proceed.

      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.

      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! 😞
