Awesome.

I'll know shortly myself. I had my labs drawn yesterday by my PCP. Thyroid is one he's checking on. I am on Synthroid.

He said it will change with the weightloss and med will have to be adjusted.

My doctor took me off thyroid medicine for surgery in April. I have had my thyroid levels check 3 times since surgery and they have stayed in the good range. I'm happy to not have to take the medicine at this point. My doctor says we will just continue to monitor and see......

I had my thyroid removed in 2009 and will be on synthryoid forever. My meds dropped and then second tests (6-8 months later), the med level had to be readjusted to what it was when I first started. My point is to keep up with those numbers.

      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.
