Hypothyroidism

[NoMoreFatFA 16]

I'm wondering if people with hashimotos or hypothyroid lose weight slower, even if their thyroid isn't off? I finally got to 10 pounds loss at 2 week mark lots of Protein and Water, 10-11k steps a day. I'm stumped..

I'm going to say yes. I was taking my medication with Vitamins and your supposed to take it on an empty stomach because it doesn't absorb completely with other things but when I started taking it separately i started losing an extra 2 pounds a week (so far) but I feel like it definitely kicked my metabolism into gear

I will also agree. But your 10 lbs in two weeks is still faster than me. I will be 8 weeks out next Monday and today I have lost 19 lbs since surgery.

I'm taking both T3 and T4.

Hi. My dr said it's not as long it's regulated. I am 7 days out and I lost 9 lb. I have read bmi plays a role into losing weight. Your 8lbs is good too considering that before sleeve it would have been harder to lose a pound. Keep positive

I have Hashimoto and take 100mg levothyroxine

Back to old me soon

Have had several "stalls" since surgery. For the past 5 weeks I either stall or lose no more than 1-2 pounds.

I'm hypothyroid and on synthroid.

I've got hashimitos and I was curious about this too. I figure loss will be slower, but still faster then if I didn't do the surgery!

I've been on Levothyroxine since 2013 & lost #101 within my first year post-op.

I do; however, fall into the category of those with thinning hair/ hair loss...despite still having a thick head of hair, my hairline has receded and I lose a significant amount each morning when I shower & Shampoo my hair.

Aside from that, I certainly didn't feel that my weight loss was hindered by hypothyroidism...If anything, I've been bewildered that my TSH didn't change, allowing me to take LESS Levothyroxine after losing nearly 1/2 my body mass...but the dose has remained the same.

You should take your thyroid medication on empty stomach. Doc said I can drink black coffee or Water for 1st 1/2 to 1 hr. after taking medication and nothing else. Never take with any other medication or Vitamins.< /p>

I have thyroid disease along with oversized nodules. I have been losing slowly. My doctor said it's because of my thyroid.

I wasn't ever allowed to have anything but Water for at least a half hour with my thyroid meds. And 10 lbs is really good - it took me 2 weeks to lose the surgery bloat!

I'm hypothyroid and didn't have problems with weight loss. I'm down 80lbs and had my surgery 9/2016. Medication has to be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and can't eat for 30 mins. You also have to wait 4 hours until you take your first Vitamin. That's what my pill bottle and doctor says. There is on line info on that.

I have Hashimotos and been on Synthroid since 1999.

I sure hope it doesn't affect it.
