I find that I'm not losing weight even with being on 100 of thyroid med but I find I keep getting really bloated

If you have had a recent thyroid gland blood test, get a print-out from your surgery (you are entitled) and post the results with the ranges on a new question. You may be undermedicated.

There has been scientific evidence in several countries regarding weight gain whilst on levothyroxine usually with the TSH kept within the reference range.

Hi Also drink plenty, water best, it does help with the bloating although you would think the reverse. Ask for U`s and E`s to be done too. That is kidney function , will show how your fluid is.

Best wishes,
