Don't panic. If the scale hasn't moved in a while you're probably experiencing what's called the "three week stall" which is where around the third week your weight loss stalls for a couple weeks or more. Just keep at it and you should break free and begin losing again soon.

I have hypothyroidism as well. I don't know that it has caused me to not see the weight loss others experience. My surgeon told me that it does slow it down some but that I will be able to hit my goal weight. I am willing to have it be slower. I feel so much better post surgery than I did before so it is already worth it to me. Good luck!

I have thyroid too...... and the weight has gone, well nearly all,,,,x x x dont stress, you are probably at the 3 week stall stage that can last for ages......you made the right choice x x

I don't have a thyroid since 2003 due to a benign tumor. I have lost 137 lbs, so don't let that be a barrier. You may lose slower, because I sure did! I am 2.5 years out and still working on last 7 lbs. Best to you!

NOOO! Don't judge the success of your surgery at 4 weeks. Tell me how you feel after a year! You will lose weight, promise, just not overnight.

My thyroid is dead. I have virtually no metabolism. My doctor has assured me that I WILL lose weight, but maybe at a slower pace to others with thyroid function. He also said that perhaps it's kinder on the skin, anyway!
