Anyone here doing MFP after having thyroid removed because of cancer ? I would love to know how easy or hard the process is/was and the things you did to not gain massive amount of weight during and after recovery.

Thanks

    Please explain what MFP stands for. I've had my thyroid removed due to papillary thyroid cancer.

    I had a total thyroidectomy in May 2000 after papillary thyroid cancer was discovered. Went through 1 round of chemo and radiation. Currently on .175/.200 mcg Synthroid alternating daily. I was transitioning from the military to a cushy civilian life and stopped working out, but ate like I was still running 6mi/day and swimming 2mi/day. I put on ~60 lbs over 13 years. I found MFP through my wife after our third child and lost the weight over about a year. I've been at maintenance ever since.

    Hit me up on any questions you have - honestly if you could wish for a cancer, this is the one to get - very treatable.
