Gaining weight

[goodtimes]

have gained 30lbs in the last 6 months they discovered I have 2 nodes on my thyroid they are watching they suggested I operate and take my thyroid out but I refuse as it would really blow my weight up..so looking for natural herbs to shrink it..the stress has caused me a case of Sciatica also . Very difficult to think of diet at the moment..

Sorry to hear about your 2 nodes and you needing an operation.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance.

I would think carefully about ignoring medical advice .Have you thought about getting a second medical opinion. Maybe it is the thyroid problem causing you to put on weight. best wishes for your treatment

Hi and welcome - my friend had her thyroid removed and she is now as skinny as anything (in my opinion)

Wishing you all the best what ever you decide to do
