I had total thyroidectomy in 2007. It has been awful for me. I started gaining lots of weight before the surgery and have continued to gain after. I am so tired of trying to lose this weight and feel good again. I take Synthroid but my doc can't seem to get my levels right. I have gained from 130lbs to 190lbs. I have cried and been so upset to no avail. I have tried dieting and 1200 calorie diets and lots of exercise. Can someone help me? I am so tired of gaining weight and never losing. Please someone help!!!!!!!!!
