I struggle with my weight as it is and i have heard that with a total thyroidectomy and going on synthroid weight gain is an almost certainty. Can anyone shed light on this..I am considering a partial and if its cancer having it done again. Good or bad decision?

I have been trying to lose weight now for over two years and continue to gain no matter how much I exercise, I do mostly cardio very little weights. I have modified my diet and what I eat cut out soda and coffee and my main thing I do drink is water w/lemon...I have asked my dr several times why can't i lose weight and her response is to exercise more..I have had blood work done for my thyroid and it comes back "normal" .

May need to see a endocrinologist to have your thyroid checked. Symptoms of an under-active thyroid include unexplained weight gain, fatigue, slow heartbeat, constipation, dry skin and a low tolerance for cold. The stress of trying to keep up with hormone needs can cause your gland to swell and create a bump in your lower neck.

fatigue, weakness, weight gain, trouble losing weight, sensitive to cold, muscle aching and cramps, constipation, depression, memory loss, odd menstrual periods.

Does everyone gain weight with Hashimotos and hypothyroid. It is so depressing. I am thinking on going on WW or Nutrisystem, but will I lose weight if my thyroid is still screwed up? I have low motility too when it comes to digestion too. Took the sitz test and an average person can poop out the beads in 2 days and it took 7 for me. What have other done? I am frustrated!

Yes, that is the correct test results. (TSH - 0.004; Thyroxine (T4) - 10.8; T3 Uptake - 28; Free Thyroxine ndex - 3.0) I will ask him about doing a FT-4 test. I thought most people that were hyper would see weight loss instead of weight gain??

Certain medications like antidepressants cause weight gain. Polycystic ovary too causes weight gain, hence has to be ruled out by an ultrasound of abdomen. If the above causes are eliminated then you can join a weight trainer and a nutrition expert and follow their advice and lose weight under their guidance. Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I seem to get sick, flu-like symptoms 3 months out of the 12 every year on and off, i have been blood tested for thyroid problems and diabetes because i had rapid weight gain i was 200lbs and gained 50 pounds in 4 months. after the thyroid test came back they said there was a problem and needed to lose weight to regulate my thyroid i lost 25lbs got blood tested again (not for hiv) and the thyroid issue was taken care of. i have a rash which since i was little is beleived to be eczema.

WIthout the med. you may be heading into a whole bunch of new symptoms, talk to your Dr maybe there's another med. that doesn't cause weight gain, it may not have anything to do with the med.

Sluggishness, weight gain, subnormal temperature.... In my case I did not gain weight because I lost my appetite.

When I began the synthroid, the weight gain stopped; however, getting off the excess is fairly perplexing to me also. I'd also appreciate info . . .

Are there certain foods that I should avoid to prevent weight gain? Should I cut my alcohol and coffee consumption? I feel bloated especially at the end of the day. I've been on Synthroid 25mg for a week now and I feel my face is puffy and round. I also have an increased appetite! I'm 55 years old and in menopause and I really don't want to gain weight. I'm relatively physically active. Walks every day.

my weight continued to increase extremely rapidly to the point where i couldnt handle it anymore, obtained more thyroid hormone (nature-throid this time), and started taking several grains again. it has NOT slowed down the weight gain at all, which continues to rise several pounds a week, despite about 1500 calories per day and a good amount of exercise (biking, walking) and activity. here is what i am wondering: 1. what is going on with me? 2.

Yes, having your thyroid levels messed up can make you feel hot, gain weight, exhausted, forgetful, and have tender breasts. It can also mess up your menstrual cycle. Also, a "benign" biopsy isn't always accurate. Two of my sisters had benign biopsies and both of them had cancer. The only way to know for sure is to have it removed and have pathology dissect the nodule. (Sorry but it's true) Hang in there.

Pls sir hlp me its vry importnt for me to gain weight

There is no thyroid specific diet, but several books give good general advice on weight issues. If the thyroid function is normal or slightly high (due to cancer history), there is not much to do from a medication adjustment standpoint.

Since you both have had thyroid tests and say they are "normal", I would love to know what the results are because some people can fall into the "normal" category on the lab report and still have hypothyroidism because some doctors (and labs) still use outdated reference ranges AND what's "normal" on the lab report, may NOT be normal for you -- your body may need different levels of thyroid hormones.

Hi has anyone out there got any tips for weight loss with an underactive thyroid. I am currantly on 150mg daily which my gp says is a little too high but I am still gaining weight. I am menapausal I know but I cycle daily walk at least 4 times a week eat low calorie foods and am desperate what else to try. I am now approx 4 stone overweight and worry that I am a heart attack waiting to happen.

I take levothyroxine for thyroid, but battling the weight gain has been bad. I done a little research myself and found that Vitamin World has several vitamins that have helped a lot. The ultra vitamin has helped with energy and hair loss. My hair has grown back. I also take Thyroid complex and it helps with metabolism. Since I have been taking them I have lost 24 lbs. I still have a ways to go it just seems the last 16 lbs is harder to come off.

No supplement is likely to help. Weight is a balance of calories in // calories out ---- this is true for thyroid and non-thyroid patients. Keeping the TSH in target range (ask your doctor about your target as it may be different based on the thyroid cancer history).
