I'm 2.5 weeks out and I lost 10lbs pre-op, 8 lbs post-op and I have not lost one pound in a week. Do you think I'm doing something wrong? I'm having an average of 250 calories a day.

I tried what someone said and upped my calories a couple of days and went back down but nothing. Is it because I lost so fast the first couple of weeks, or am I doing something wrong? The only thing I can thank that I've changed is 1 tblspoon of Peanut Butter in my shake. Thanks for the help.

I have a slow thyorid. Will that make it hard to loss even with the band?

I'm on meds for it.

Jill, if you are on meds, then your thyroid level should be normal, if it isn't, then you need the meds adjusted.

I had my thyroid radiated due to an overactive non-cancerous tumor and am now on replacement meds. I have been everything from high to low as my disease and treatment progressed. Through it all I could easily gain weight and had to struggle to lose. Now I get checked yearly and my levels are normal.

If you think your levels are low, ask your doc to check them. There is no need to go around with low thyroid levels for long periods.
