hypothyroid and weight loss

Aug 20, 2010

Well lab results from Monday showed my Thyroid level was low... 3.4. So my endocrinologist upped my thyroid med to 300mcq a day of Levothyroxine. Now this is way abnormal! The most I have ever heard of someone taking was 200mcq. I guess my absorption is low.

I did start taking 300mcq on Thursday night and suddenly the scale started to move! I think with my low thyroid level comes with low metabolism. I did feel a bit constipated but that resolved with my first dose of thyroid.
I am now down to 159lbs. I have been in the 160s for over a month. So yeah scale moving!

I saw my bariactric doctor on Thursday as well. He said he would be happy if I get down to 155lbs. I personally want 140lbs. We will see what I get too!  Because 155lbs is only 4 pound away! I think I got at least 15 more pounds to lose!
