I was sleeved 8th March 2016

My weight and BMI are below, in my signature.

I have lost over 21kg (46 Ib), and had 2-3 major stalls.

Had lot of reflux issues earlier on, now controlled with Nexium.

I also have an auto-immune thyroid disease, if not for the thyroid, my post WLS journey has been rather smooth.

I am happy with my results, and keep plodding on :)

OzRoo, I too have an auto-immune thyroid disease. Now I found out I have 2 large nodules causing problems. I may need surgery.

I had surgery on March 7th. Last week I lost 80 lbs. This week I gained 4! I was so upset. I was trying to figure out how could this of happened. Then I realized that I was so busy baking for Christmas that I haven't been taking my meds. What a relief. Now I can get back on track.

Yes, this autoimmune thyroid disease can really make life difficult. I am sorry to hear about the 2 large nodules.

Hope that you get this resolved soon and with success!

Congratulations on your great weight loss! Well done!!!

Yes, the meds can throw a curve ball, I am glad that you found out the cause.

With my med, I always put it on my bedside table, so I take it first thing in the morning when I wake up.

The rest stays in the fridge, but I cut out 4 blisters, and each night I put one in a tiny dish on my bedside table.

This way, I don't forget.

2 doses adjustments ago, my med was halved, and even though my blood tests came back "normal", I was in the higher end of TSH, and I really noticed the difference! I did not feel too good.

So the dose was increased, and now I am back to hyper symptoms .....

Another dose adjustment now .....

I am glad you are back on track! Christmas can be such a busy time .....

When my med was halved, my weight loss stopped.

Now my scales are still not budging, but at least I am shrinking.

Best Wishes to you :)

I'm glad they got you back on track. Inches mean a lot. That's awesome! The pounds will be next.

That's a good idea about putting the medicine on the night stand. I'm going to try it. Thanks.

Have an enjoyable holiday!

      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?

      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.
