dietbelle 36 Posted January 4, 2016 What you have is Hashimotos disease it causes weight gain! Once on your mess your weight will decrease because your levels will normalize. Your thyroid manages your other organs so it's very important on how the body works. I would say about 4 weeks but keep having bloods tested as your meds may have to me adjusted. I have had Hashimotos for 25 years. Even after your op you may still have to take meds. It's an immune thing. I take 200 but if you're only on 50 maybe once your weight is off you may not need it. I also read but it could be wrong as it was a dr on the Internet! lol That the majority of immune sufferers have a lot going on in the gut once this is cut off the problems i.e. Hashimotos goes with it.. I hope so Good luck stay focused its only another 4 weeks or so and be deluge the with your meds empty stomach 1st thing in the money .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsAshley0307 19 Posted January 4, 2016 Today I start my 2 week pre-op of all liquids and salads/steamed veggies. I found an interesting broth the other day: Millie's Spicy Tortilla Vegetable Sipping Broth. Gonna try it today. Hope it is as good as it sounds. I looked it up. Sounds good. Sounds better than sipping regular chicken broth all day. Let me know what you think I want to order some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leal536 19 Posted January 4, 2016 It is good! It will be a great change up from chicken broth. Oh, not really spicy though.Interesting where do I get this broth from? I bought it at a local grocery store in Olympia WA. Just checked online and it is EXPENSIVE to buy on Millie's website. Amazon was even worse!. It is made in Bellevue WA so it is likely that is the reason it was easy for me to find. I think you could make your own though. I tasted like a beef broth with some spices in it. But it was not spicy hot. Maybe even just at taco seasoning to beef broth for the flavor. I have some beef broth and might try that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctvenuti 17 Posted January 6, 2016 Is 3am,I'm coming up on 24 hours post op. The surgery went well, I've been up walking a few times, using my pain med and having occasional nausea, which always seems associated with belching up the gas. Looking forward to my upper gi tomorrow and that first sip of liquid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
