    Congrats! Assuming you're on Synthroid to suppress your TSH levels. When did you have the surgery and how are you feeling now?

    I had a total thyroidectomy due to cancer in 2000 with no signs of reappearance which is always good. Other than that now that my TSH levels are low I feel great. I don't do anything special, just eat in moderation, exercise daily and stay well hydrated.

    Welcome aboard!

    I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease). Hands down, the best weight-loss advice I ever received was to read the Sexypants post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1
