Has anyone had trouble with being over medicated for hypothyroid since their surgery? Before the surgery I was taking Synthroid for hypothyroid. Since my surgery 9 weeks ago, my doctor has been checking my blood work and I have been overmedicated and in the hyperthyroid levels. She keeps decreasing my dosages, but I can't seem to get the to the right level. Anyone else dealing with this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is there a good app out there where you can track Protein, carbs, calories, Fluid intake? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was feeling this way at four weeks out and it just didn't feel normal. The surgeon said "everyone heals differently" and just pretty much dismissed me. However I went to my family doctor and she ran blood test and found out I was extremely low in potassium and Vitamin D, which was why I was so tired. I would go to your doctor and ask for blood work.

Anyone have nausea everyday this long after their surgery? I pretty much wake up in the morning with nausea and on all day long. I am taking promethazine for it, and it does help some. I also cannot keep down Protein drinks, so I'm wondering if this is part of the problem. I am getting some protein with the meat I eat, however, I can only take about three or four bites during my meals and then I'm done. Most people seem to be eating more than this 30 days out. My doctor just shrugs it off as "everyone is different." But I'm worried about not getting enough protein or food. Anybody else having this problem? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I will try putting the Protein into my yogurt and see how that goes. I'm not really eating too much meat yet because I'm really just starting solids. Last week I was eating soft solids like tuna fish and canned chicken. I also don't understand why I can only eat 2 to 3 bites of food before I start having pains and feel like I'm full. And by bites I means half of a baby spoon size bites. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctor switched me to Protonix. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My Doctor gave me Promethazine to rub into my wrists for nausea and that helps a lot! I am one month out and still get a lot of nausea. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Make sure if you get nauseated easily you tell the anesthesiologist. They gave me extra anti-nausea meds and I'm still fighting nausea and I'm on day post op. Make sure you rest/sleep when you can because they do come in and wake you several times throughout the day/night. Good luck! Hope everything goes smoothly !
