Hello everyone. I was recently diagnosed with hypothyriodism in 8/2019. After realizing this, I started the process to get approved for VSG and was approved for a 8/2020 surgery date. I then pushed my surgery date back to 12/2020 because I am so afraid of the unknown. I am 5 ft 9 inches tall and I weigh 269 lbs currently. I have always been super athletic and my calves and thighs are huge and are very muscular. I have a three year old daughter and lost 22 lbs during my pregnancy just so that I could deliver with my OB vs being considered high risk and having to transfer to the hospital where I worked in high risk OB. My highest weight has been 275 lbs. Please someone with hypothyriodism please share some insight with me. Here are my biggest fears. Loosing too much weight too fast. Not being able to tone my body and my biggest is not being able to ever drink 2-3 gallons of water day every again. I currently take Synthoriod 75 mg and I have found a new endo Dr. Please someone share some info with me.

@catwoman7 thank you for your insight. I really love your honesty, especially considering you have had surgery and have the condition also. You gave me so much hope. I know everyone is different, however, I a, praying I am one of those people that looses much slower than others. Thank you

Yes I know all the underlining info. I know that I wont be able to control the first month of weight loss during the first few months or weeks I should say. As far as loosing too much too fast , I meant like loosing 80 lbs in less than 6 months. I know several people who have had that happen. Thanks for your reply.
