hi sandie_swan, I also had a thyroidectomy
4 yrs ago and was always very thin
beforehand - found it easy to lose weight.
Since my surgery I have put on 10kgs and
find it impossible to lose (like you, I've
tried eating healthy, even eating very
little) and nothing seems to work. I am
now eating healthy and exercisng regularly
but still, the most I will lose is a
couple of kilos. I dont' know the answer
sorry, I've just assumed I will have to
live with it!
