My endo told me if my body is used to getting the soy then my body will adjust accordingly. I still drink my soy milk just not in overload as I was before surgery. Just do what you're doing- if it's working for you.
Happy to hear you're doing so well!

You are supposed to avoid soy milk for 3-4 hours after taking your med.
My experience with SOY was different. One day when I ran out of milk for my cereal, I used the Soy Skim Milk my family is using, more than an hour after I took my Levothyroxine. That afternoon I felt really terible, like I did not take my medication at all. I was fatigue and can't concentrate due to brain fog. I did not fell better until a couple days later. Since then I made sure to take out SOY from my diet and I felt good. I grew up with an Okinawan mother, so most of my diet have Soy in it but some how it interferes with the absorption of my Hypothyroid medication.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroid last June 8, 2007 and taking 25 mcg of Levothyroxine with TSH of 6.22. Right now I know this dose is not enough because I ran out of energy after three days of work. Tomorrow, I'll be seeing my GP to check the result of my blood test taken last week.

I bought a bike in May and I LOVE being out on the trails. It's just as fun as it was when I was a kid. Wish I had gotten a road bike, but I have some sort of hybrid (trail?)bike that is heavier and slower. I am thinking about trading it for a road bike as our nearby trail is 45 miles long and paved the whole way.
I'm glad the soy is not interfering with your med absorption.
Enjoy riding. :-D
I forgot to mention, I bought a road bike and have been riding for a couple of weeks now and it is soo great to be out in the open riding. By the way, my diet still sucks! hahaha
