Question for Sleevers with hypothyroidism....



Recommended Posts

I just a couple weeks Pre-Op, Once sleeved was wondering if people with hypothyroidism share similar results with weight loss or is it slower?

I have had a partial thyroidectomy and I take 50mcg of Synthroid a day. I was sleeved 2/4 and in the days since, have lost 11 pounds. I think that is comparable to what most others have lost.

I take 75 mcg's of levothyroxine a day. The surgeon has never said anything about my weight loss being any slower. Hopefully not!! Good luck......

I take 40 mcgs of Synthroid daily and I'm actually ahead of what my surgeon estimated for me. I am 2 months out and down 70 pounds total. (30 preop, 40 since surgery).

I take 200 mcg. Bottom line if your TSH is betwern 1 and 2.5 you should be fine.

I've had hashimoto's for 11 years. I am on 125mcg of levothyroxine. I was sleeved on the 17th of December and have lost 36 pounds. My doctor is pleased with my weight loss ad has said it's above average.

I have hypo as well. I am about 4 weeks out. About 22 lbs. just did physical and now my meds are off. Changing from 125 to 100 mcg. Doc said may or may not effect WLS. Said if i follow program should have not much of an impact. But each person is different.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
