I've had a total throidectomy and have put on about 20lbs. I am well controlled with Synthroid and am wondering if it is still possible for me to raise my metabolism with diet and exercise, or if only my meds do this now?M5NW28

Hi,
After the thyroid procedure many people have problems with weight control. It is not an uncommon thing and many try to find solutions for this. The theory is that if you use your medication correctly you shouldn’t put any weight, while your TSH is normal. But this doesn’t happen always. What you need to do is to pay good attention on what you eat. You will have to alter your diet so you don’t put any more weight. Exercise is also important during this process. You have to know that this is not easy process, and you have experienced that it is easy to put weight on, but it is much harder to lose it. Could you tell me something more about your diet?
