My thyroid removed 4 days ago , i feel as if i put on weight and my body is retaining water is it normal and what can i solve it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid salt: Since your thyroid was removed, you should be on thyroid hormone. It will take at least a month before you will know if you are on the right dose. Swelling and fluid retention is common after any surgery, and should resolve as you keep away from excess salt.
