Stall from Low Thyroid?
I recently lost 50 pounds but stalled the last few weeks. I had been losing my hair and was cold a lot but was told that is common after weight loss. I had blood work before and after my procedure. Before everything was fine. After I became Vitamin D deficient and was put on supplements for 6 weeks. Went retest and still Vitamin D deficient and now have low thyroid. The last 3 weeks I have been extremely fatigued. I go to doctor next week. Anyone else have similar issues??

Most people are Vitamin D deficient, whether they have surgery or not. We just don't spend enough time in the sun and many doctors are prescribing Vitamin D supplements. The ones the doctor prescribes don't always desolve because we don't have enough stomach acid. I take them, but I poke a hole in the capsule with a pin so the oil can get out even if the pill doesn't disolve. You can also order Dry Vitamin D.
Low thyroid is also easily corrected with a pill. So many women are on tyroid medicines that it seems like something in our lifestyle just wears the thyroid out.

Your body will need to rest for a week or two to catch up with the weight loss. You will loose your hair sorry, fact of life with weight loss.
Vit D deficientcy is totally common these days. I take 10,000IUs DAILY. Trying to get my Vit D up.
Go to stopthethyroidmadness.com and check out symtoms for low thyroid. You may go on meds and still feel like crap so talk talk talk to your doc about it.

I had slacked off of taking my thyroid meds and didn't lose weight for four weeks. Then after I restarted it I lost 7 pounds 10 days later. I'm not sure if that was my thyroid or not, I mean, we're going to stall after rapid weight loss but it did seem like the weight loss picked up around the time when the thyroid med would have been kicking in. I was also cold a lot after surgery. That was a new experience for me because I tend to feel hotter then colder...I realize this doesn't answer your question. I guess I have the same questions as you. I'm not good about taking my vitamins so I figure that is probably what is making me tired...but vitamins hurt my stomach and liquid vitamins are so gross. Best of luck to you!
