Need help

So I have hypothyroidism and it makes it difficult for me to loose weight, I have my surgery date and everything but if I didn’t loose how much my surgeon wanted me to before surgery can he cancel it or something??

The important thing is effort. Sure he can cancel it. If you go in weighing a few pounds shy of a goal, it may not be a big deal. If you go in weighing more than what you started at, you may have a problem explaining that.

Many of us have hypothyroidism so we know it is difficult but it should not necessarily cause gain if medication is being taken and labs and hormones are acceptable levels.

I have hypothyroidism also. My surgery is scheduled for April 25... my paperwork gets submitted to insurance next week. My surgeon didn't say I had to lose a certain amount of weight, but I've lost a few working with my nutritionist. I start the two week liquid diet next Wednesday.

I have hypothyroidism as well. I stuck to my pre-op diet religiously. shake for Breakfast, shake for lunch and 4 oz Protein with a veggie. Went from 331 on 3/13 to 317 on surgery day 3/26. You can do it!
