Thyroid cancer, thyroidectomy in 2010 (the cancer was benign but the thyroid had turned into a tumor that wrapped around my neck). Since then, I feel somewhat discouraged about weight loss. Everyone says things like "oh, you have no thyroid, now you will always be fat."

Anyone else trying to lose weight or successfully keeping weight off with no thyroid?

I take levothyroxine.

Advice welcome from anyone who knows about metabolism dysfunction.

Since posting this I have seen another similar thread. Sorry for the repeat, don't know how to delete this thread.

    Hi all... I do not normally review posts on this app, as thyca has such a great community (on inspire.com). If you are not already active on that site, I encourage anyone to check it out. It has a wealth of information and support. Personnaly, I had two thyroid surgeries in 2012 and RAI late 2014. I struggle with my weight, even when I am slightly hyper on thyroxine, but that is for another time! Good to see posts from like people out there! LJP
