Has anyone else had thier thyroid removed?

Hello all. I had a total thyroidectomy in November of 2010. Before surgery I could drop 20 pounds in a month without much effort (I'm 5'10"). Thirty days after my surgery I had gained almost 30 pounds. 14 months later that weight is still here. I also run 5 miles a day/ 6 days a week and have been doing this for about a year. I am working with my doctor to get my medication levels in the right place and am told that once that happens I should be able to lose weight like a normal person lol. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and can offer some advise or support.


P.S. Please excuse the typo in the subject line. It won't let me edit that part. It's hurting my soul lol.
