I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had a total  thyroidectomy 6 years ago. My weight wasn't ever really bad before my surgery but I gained 100 lbs after :( then I had my third child and a miscarrage.... needless to say my weight isn't something I feel I can control anymore. I can diet and lose 20-35 lbs but it's a huge struggle. I wanted to see what surgery others have had and hear of your experience after having a total  thyroidectomy . I want the good the bad and the ugly. I was a size 10 before all of this and I'm done with size 22.... I want my life back.

I would ask a good endocrinologist for an opinion.  My endo is also trained in internal medicine & he's very good with hormone regulation, proteins (not as in protein/ food) in the body, & vitamin needs.
