How much weight?
Okay since going on my LID diet one week ago yesterday (with some cheating), and stopping my Cytomel I have officially gained 10lbs! I just lost those stupid 10 lbs right after my surgery and I am so flaming mad. It seems like every morning when I step on the scale, I have at least gained a pound, if not more. I am eating really good with some cheats here and there, but I used to eat pretty much anything I have wanted and was keeping the weight down. Well that was till I stopped my Medications. I mean I knew this could happen, but holy cow!.
Since I am not a really big cook I have been limiting my foods to salads, baked potatoes and some spaghetti noodles with stewed veggies on top! I can't believe how depressing this is! I do add a TON of non-iodine salt to everything for flavor, but I can't see 10lbs in water weight.
So my question is (I know it is varied), but I wanna know if you put on weight during your time off your medications and on the LID? And did you lose it after starting up your medications?

I agree with Venora. I think it could easily be water weight. Water weighs a LOT and can be held everywhere in your body. I know it's not exactly the same, but when I was pregnant, my ankles would swell quite a bit... my OB said she thought I was carrying at least 6-8 pounds of water in my FEET! Now, granted they were really swollen... but 6-8lbs!? I was shocked. I normally wear a size 7.5 and I had to wear an 8.5 shoe with that swelling... so it was noticeable, but not freakish. My point is, you may be underestimating your water retention.
Keep up the healthy eating. It will pay off! :)

It can be 10lbs in water weight.Hypo makes you retain ALOT of water.I get chicken from the health food store and I used alot of herbs and spices.Try some walnuts that you can goet in the baker aisle that are unsalted. they satisfy that usrge to have someting crunchy.I also made lots of fresh fruit smoothies
I would pu a cup of fruit jusice in the blender for a base and then blend up all ckinds of fruit.hehe its summer so you could add some rum yum!
Hang in there you are just about through the worst of it.
Love Venora
