Anyone starting plan that has had thyroid cancer in the past?

Options
Hi! Today is day one on the plan. I had my thyroid removed 4 yrs ago due to cancer. I was wondering if anyone else has successfully completed the plan and lost weight. I am not able to take the kelp or other items that are to strengthen the thyroid because it need the cells that I still have to remain silent. Thank you for any feedback!

    I used mfp in the past and lost over 100 lbs in June 2016 I was diagnosed with papillary and folicalular thyroid cancer. I have gained 80lbs in this time. I also have issue with needing suppression with certain food avoidanc. My meds are almost where they should be so here I am trying to start this journey again! Would love your input too
