Anyone else experience thyroid issues after surgery. October Mark's my 2yr sleeve anniversary. A few months ago I went to see my PCP and after routine bloodwork she noticed my thyroid was over active. Prior to that visit I'd never had any issues with my thyroid. I'm just wondering if it's just me.

Hopefully that feeling will pass after a few weeks. It took me a while to get to a comfortable place emotional wise. I keep going back and fourth with myself feeling terrible and pissed that I couldn't eat and then lay down for a nap like the old days, try that now and I'll regurgitate. Also I'd go weeks without losing any weight even though I was hardly taking anything in. Anyhow, all I can say is eventually it got better and I'm now in a pretty good place. Every once in awhile I'll still get the blues but I'll be a year out from my sleeve in 5 days. My starting weight was 314 and I'm now 193. Still not at my goal weight but I'll get there. Good Luck!

I didn't wait a year before drinking alcohol as advised. I think I only hung in there around 3 months. I don't drink a lot though, just a glass of wine occasionally. Sent from my SM-G900P using BariatricPal mobile app

Hopefully your doing better now. I've been a slow loser too. Sometimes I go 3 to 4 weeks without losing. Lately it seems my appetite has increased drastically. I'm seriously hungry ever 2 hours or so. Sent from my SM-G900P using BariatricPal mobile app

Will officially be 2 months post op this Christmas Eve. HW 314 SW 247 CW 225 So far I'm doing great and happy with the steady loss and am rarely hungry. However, my appetite returns with a vengeance a week before my cycle. I swear all I want right now is a fully cheeseburger and fries. Which is hilarious by the way since I know I wouldn't be able to get past the first bite of burger and 3 fries max Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I love and miss popcorn, my doctor won't allow it till I'm 6 months out though. Right now I'm only 6 wks out Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 10/24 and I've only lost 10 pounds so far. I did lose 50 pounds pre-op and I'm still working on getting in my 64oz of water so I figure those 2 things may be factors. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Awesome, you look fabulous! Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was also 10/24 and I'm only down 7 pounds so I understand. I am still struggling to get in my Water so I figure that may be part of my issue. Hang in there we'll all get there together Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App
