How do you lose weight after your thyroid has been killed with radioactive pill. how do you get the weight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid and weight: You should be on thyroid replacement and your thyroid blood levels should be normal. However, if you have been hyperthyroid for a while, you may have become used to the high metabolism from the hyperthyroid state. Now that your metabolism is back to normal, you have to readjust and count calories very carefully.
