Thyroid issues

Has anyone had an issue with your thyroid after surgery I'm 6 months post opp May 21st I started at 228lbs and currently 163lbs I eat healthy no cheating and I've been stuck at 163 for over a month, I drink my Protein smoothies eat my daily protein intake of 67grams some days it's really hard but I do it. On April 4th after complaining about always being tired, Moody, excessive Hair loss, 0 sex drive and not loosing any more weight even with the eating pattern I've been on since I went to solid foods I was diagnosed with under active thyroid and the cause was the stress of the surgery and the stress on my body to the rapid weight loss. So I was just wondering if anyone has had this issue and how long it took to feel better again

I had hypothyroid before surgery, you will feel better as soon as your levels improve (a week or two). Not sure how the surgery caused this though this is usually caused by autoimmune disease.

I have no history of thyroid issues in my family and up until April my blood work had always come back negative for any thyroid issues. My Aunt by marriage at age 40 found out she was pregnant then half way through pregnancy was diagnosed with under active then after my cousin turned 1 and blood work her thyroid was normal again

I hope it's just a fluke and your levels return to normal after your body adjusts to surgery.
