So excited for you!! Are they monitoring yor levels closely, or no? My doc is every 3 months, but I feel like my levels fluctuate wayyy more than that!! Keep us posted on how it goes, as I still dont have a surgery date but hoping for June. My Endoscopy is the 10th of May...hoping for no surprises as I have had gastritis and ulcers in the past. Good luck on your journey.

Well I would be too if I had a no gain requirement hanging over my head! The entire thing is already stressful enough without that! You can do it though! [emoji1377][emoji1377]

Thank you! [emoji173]️

Haha, I just turned 43 so I know how that feels but we are supposed to feel great after we get through this surgery!! [emoji1373]

It's Non-synthetic. It's actually Pig Thyroid, sounds kind of ick - but it isnt any different than another pill. From what I understand my Thyroid is non-productive, so he (My Doc) is just replacing what I cannot make. It's supposed to be lifelong. Maybe your Thyroid situation is a bit different, or you're too young or something? Not sure.

My doctor went straight to Armour Thyroid. It took well into a year though and I still have bad days where I'm just a zombie in pajamas. 🤦🏻♀️

Congrats! It's nice to read positive stuff! Makes me less anxious. -
Oh no [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] The Doc has to do something else, maybe diff meds?
-
Beyond Amazing!! I seem to have cycles of feeling human and then complete exhaustion. It's the worst. You'd think after a year on meds it would have evened-out a bit, but nope...every say is still unpredicatable. I did add Selenium to my supplements and that seems to minorly help.

Almost there! Thankfully my insurance does not require a 6 month monitored weight loss requirement. I'm just hoping after surgery the Hashimoto's will calm itself. [emoji20]
-
Exactly!! And Hashimoto's is Brutal on Weight, I gained 70lbs in 8 months! When is your surgery date?
-
Wow, your insurance needs a lesson on Hashimoto's!! Hang in there!

Perspective is everything these days. Unfortunately people only see life through their own perspective! Even when 2 people walk the same path, their experiences will be different because each person is an individual - with individual ideas, dreams, hopes, struggles, pains, etc. Including why and how some of us are "overweight" or "underweight". Sadly, people have forgotten to be kind and respect that individualism.
-
This is Awesome!! I can use the ideas and your plates look great! Following. [emoji4]
-
I have Hashimoto's and it is impossible to lose weight BUT thankful I finally stopped gaining! Also hoping that the surgery will reset everything and that I will lose weight!

Congratulations!! Fantastic!! What an inspiration to me. [emoji173]️

Any June 2018 Sleevers in Here?!
Em_Jay75 replied to BurpeeZombie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Tentatively, I will have a June surgery, but not 100% yet. I have to pass my Psych Eval & my Endoscopy. Surgeon said if all of that is a-okay, then it'll be June. -
Prayers for a speedy recovery [emoji173]️

As long as my Psych Eval and Endoscopy go without a hitch it looks like I will have a June surgery. Mixed emotions of course! -
Congrats on the surgery! Hope it is going well. I'm a bit leery of the pain. [emoji33] My surgery is on June. Cookie N Cream sounds too good to be true!
-
I tried these for the first time, because I figured I had better get used to them before surgery, and they're disgusting! What else did you use to get in your protein right after surgery? I was told 2 of these Myo's and 64 oz of Fluids. Now I'm unsure of being able to get enough protein in as I cannot stomach them now. Any advice?
-
Thanks! I'm going to try them ALL. [emoji6] I have no idea what "keto" means, so I'm probably not it. 🤣
-
Good Luck! Prayers your way!
