thoughts please - this is the first time I've posted on here. I was diagnosed as hyperthyroid in feb this year - I had gradually been putting weight on and was constipated - my blood results were - TSH - <0.01, free T4 - 24.9, anti-TPO antibodies 1.0, ferritin 243, caeruloplasmin 0.27. I was put on carbimazole 20mg. I was advised to join slimming world , and exercise - I had been doing this for months and loosing very little weight. a few months later I was advised to reduce my carbimazole to 10 mg as my liver enzemes were too high. I have got a personal trainer go x 2 weekly ( struggle to afford to go) and have now only lost 1/2 stone since feb - my diet is excellent. I am 3 stone over weight.
my bloods last week were - TSH - 1.61, T4 - 6.3, T3 - 3.7, vit D 39. I can see I've now gone hypo with the carbimazole. ive reduced this to 5mg.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received, as I'm desperate to loose weight and don't understand why I was gaining when I was hyperthyroid. My endocrinologist - just tells me to exercise more and keep going to slimming world.....
Weight gain and trying to lose it!
Has anyone put weight on with hyperthyroidism? 
Weight gain drastically 
Weight Gain!
Sorry, but it's very difficult to understand what's going on if you don't put the ranges with the results. Ranges vary from lab to lab, so you always need to add them.
How were you diagnosed hyper? Just by the TSH? Your FT4 doesn't look very high. Were Grave's antibodies tested?
Slimming World really isn't the best way to lose weight because it's based on low/no-fat, which isn't very healthy. The body needs fat. Your FT3 now looks very low - but we do need the ranges to know for sure - in which case, you should not be doing strenuous exercise. But, endos - and doctors in general - know little about thyroid, and even less about nutrition!
Sorry ranges are tsh (0.35 - 5.50) t4 (7.0 - 17.0) free t3 (3.5 - 6.5) free t4 (7.0 - 17.0) anti- tpo antibodies (<9.0) I was told it was diagnosed by the TSH and the T4 he said it was not caused by an autoimmune disease.
My personal trainer has me eating healthy fats - nuts/avocados/rapeseed oil etc
Low carb diet isn’t good for thyroid
Where can I find out what I should be eating for the thyroid please?
why?
Why is this? I would be so interested to speak to you about it : )
From reading I’ve done and comments above - certain foods help the thyroid heal & function better - but not really sure what they are !
