I am 2.5 years post op from gastric bypass and 11 years out from total thyroidectomy due to cancer. I initially lost 173 pounds after RNY. and about 1.5 years out started with significant regain. Discovered my tsh level was through the roof so I had no metabolism. Had to significantly increase my synthroid. Now I am back where I should be and trying to relose 85 pds. So disheartening. Anyone else had issues with being synthroid dependent and regain of weight?

I don't have any experience with synthroid. I am 31 months post-op from RNY surgery. I have spent the last 24 months in Maintenance mode. The following short articles describes my experience with weight loss in Maintenance mode. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Thanks for your reply James. I take synthroid due to not having a thyroid which controls your metabolism. It is a replacement thyroid medication. When your tsh-thyroid level gets really high your metabolism gets very low which s what controls weight loss and energy. Even though I was doing the maintenace phase I was still gaining weight at leaps and bounds due to my body not being able to burn any calories. I am praying that now that my medication is straight I will relose the 85 I need to. I am back on the initial eating pattern of 900 calories a day. 100 gms Protein and less than 50 gms of carbs as set by my dietician. We are thinking the initial lack of absorbtion was the cause of my medication no longer being enough. My dose has been more than doubled. But Thank God I still remain off blood pressure meds and my diabetes meds. Congrats on your success!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
