Your weight gain is fine hun. The main thing is to try to eliminate as much sugar from your diet as possible (no artificial sugars either) and eat lots of protein. You should treat hypoglycemia almost exactly as you would treat diabetes. I know that's not always easy, but high protein & lots of veggies will help regulate your blood sugar. If you get a sweet tooth, eat fruit, not sweets. You'll do great!
m too little but my not has no concerns on my weight gain he say I just might be tiny.
Hello
About 6 weeks ago I saw a new Endo, my third one and (she) listened to my complaints (weight gain, massive tendonitis in feet and legs)and generally feeling off health wise to this appointment (I brought proof) of my weight gain see I lost and kept off 120 pound for over 6 years until my thyroidectomy (cancer) 13 months ago my original Endo(male)said my issues are in my head and I should see a specialist and take diet pills for my weight.
Well, my last test showed by levels were back to normal, yet my fatigue remains, so does the insomnia and depression (for which I take anti-depressants). My weight gain continues and I suffer from reactive hypoglycemia - yet it seems inconsistent. I track my food daily and often eating similar foods on consecutive days - most of the time I'm ok, then I can repeat a meal and have an attack. Don't understand why.
i become tired, ill feeling, weak, sometimes disoriented, and fall asleep often after eating, etc . I have lost 20pounds. i have never been able to gain weight and have always been considered underweight-this is very distressing because generally this will take me a year to gain back. The only exception to this was pregnancy where i gained more than half my body weight without trying and immediately lost the weight post partum.
If you don't properly digest your food you will store fat. Taking digestive enzymes with ox bile will help your condition. I had my gall bladder removed 2 and 1/2 years ago and had problems with abdominal pain and weight loss. I lost weight because every time I ate I would have pain. The less I ate the better I felt. I started taking digestive enzymes 6 months after surgery because I developed fibromyalgia. It helped with my abdominal pain.
Eat more frequently?? Something is obviously wrong. It could possibly be hypoglycemia or diabetes. Weight loss is not necessarily a symptom, especially of Type 2 Diabetes. Random blood sugar tests are virtually meaningless. He needs to do an A1C which is a test of the average of your blood sugars for the last couple months. If it is not hypoglycemia or diabetes then you need a doctor who will help you figure out what else it might be.
Weight loss is seen in pancreatitis since it affects both the exocrine and endocrine function of the organ causing malabsorption of fats and proteins. Weight gain is an uncommon scenario but may be seen due to the action of stress hormones which may further be complexed with hypothyroidism in your case. I would suggest considering an evaluation by a gastroenterologist and an endocrinologist for suggestion of an appropriate management plan.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
Weight gain. Dizzyness and confusion 2 hours after eating breakfast. Dry skin. Loosing my hair. (I used to have full beautiful hair) Brittle nails. I am CONSTANTLY thirsty which is leading me to urinate every 2 hours! I am very very healthy, I eat very good and run 2-3 miles every single day. I should not be gaining weight by any means. Usually when someone is hyperactive they lose weight. Seems to be the opposite for me. Looks like my T3 and T4 levels look great.
extreme fatigue, Vertigo, cold all the time, irritability, shaking, brain fog, losing periods of time, falling asleep (did this driving), not feeling rested, short of breath, weight gain, dizzy, bp fluctuates usually low reading like 100/68 but some higher, as high as 150/92, fast heart rate usually in 90 or 120 range resting. Taking phenterimine helped me feel better. Recently had labs, b12 191 - I've took a shot a week for a month now a shot a month, no difference.
I find that when I gain weight that is put on as fat tissue, my absorption of insulin and matching dose to food intake gets all out of whack. Fat tissue is much more difficult for insulin regulation as it is insulin resistant and when I take more insulin instead of using exercise to cover BG, sometimes it backfires.
However, if you delay its dose, then it has little impact. It may cause weight gain. It is used only in patients where metformin and other drugs are not effective. Since both insulin and Bydurean is taken by subcutaneous injection, it is always preferable to switch to insulin as it has minimal side effects. However, with insulin, you need to be very careful to eat on time as it may cause hypoglycemia. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
