Total thyroidectomy and weight gain
I recently had my thyroid removed 08/14/09 and am taking 125mcg of synthroid. My doctor told me I should lose some weight, but I have done nothing but gain since my surgery. Any advice or suggestions would be great.

It may be worthwhile to get your TSH checked to make sure that the thyroid replacement is adequate.
And don't forget the benefits of diet/exercise!!!

I also had my thyroid removed and am having trouble losing weight. My dr. has me on 125mcg of synthroid and also 112. I alternate every other day. All of my bloodwork comes back good and my cancer markers are good but I cannot seem to lose more than 2-4 pounds. I have tried weight watchers where I had success before my cancer but now nothing works. I also would appreciate any advice. My job is very stressful and I know that doesn't help but I don't have control over that.
