Hi
I had hoped I would lose weight on Levothyroxine but instead I am constantly hungry and have gained 40 additional pounds in 4 years. I am now considering weight loss surgery and wondered if others on this group have found that helpful

Have you tried loosing most of your carbs? potatoes, rice etc.? We are doing that for my husband's diabetes.
I would say that I saw a show on PBS that was on people after surgery, and it worked for some, but not others. One lady said food made her sick, so she lived on wendy's smoothies, and she gained instead of lost.
otherwise, are you feeling ok? are your numbers low enough? TSH at 1.0 or under?
