Visit 3/6
Visit 3 of 6 went smoothly. Happy to have my TSH down, tracking has been great. Need to switch to another provider for an at home sleep test as insurance would not approve an in office. So I will give the new place a call tomorrow and I have to cancel my original. Other than that I am just waiting on my psych appointment and my remainder visits. I am down 11pm of the 12 I had to lose in the program. As soon as I hit the 12 I just really have to maintain because I am already at 36% BMI and I don’t want to go below and have insurance deny the procedure. Just chillin like a villain now. Trying to get more excercise in but damn it’s so much more difficult to move being this big. Down to 230.
3/7 TSH update
I got bloodwork done and my TSH is down to a 2.0!!!!! Which is considered low/hyperthyroid but for me I FEEL GREAT. I can’t believe it was able to drop over 10 pts the NP is gonna be thrilled. I see my primary next week, my glucose was 101 and I had stayed up the night before, may have had ice cream late at night binge watching 24 and then I went for very early blood work by 7am so I attribute it to this. My glucose is usually like 90 so I hope it doesn’t trigger pre diabetes talk or other testing as I have never had an issue there.
Protein level was low which maybe has to do with taking the omeprazole? And digestion? I did some googling…I do eat a shit ton of protein so…the only thing I can think of is with the low stomach acid I am having a hard time digesting it to absorb nutrients?
And of course always anemic bloodwork so wonder if he will suggest anything for that. I should be on a multivitamin but I am not yet I couldn’t find a clean one that had everything I needed yet and I just don’t feel right taking flintstones, but a multivitamin would probably help with the iron issue. I also ceased taking my desiccated liver so I could get true blood work values so I will likely add that back in, I just pressed some this week.
Other than that still trying to get my weight down. I am keeping steady at least right now with my TSH being resolved. WOOT!!

2 months down 4 to go
4/25/23-had my 2nd month visit. I had just gotten home from a week long vacation very sure I gained weight but not sure how much since you know the doctors scales are the real deal, take out water weight. I was pleasantly surprised I only went up 1lb and am still down 7 in total from start weight. Phew!
We talked about my my thyroid medicine being upped and my upcoming bloodwork appointment and the NP was pleased and thinks the higher dosage is working and is expecting an improvement in my TSH and feels there is still time to tweak if it is not where it needs to be.
I have to agree I think it’s working or I should have gained a whole lot more if it wasn’t. Haha.
Met with the nutritionist who is pleased says I am doing great with eating just need to focus on getting in more snacks and eating more meals per day which sucks cause honesty I could eat one meal a day and be fine. I’m never really hungry much so this feels like making myself eat. I still hate logging, it’s just an additional hoop to jump through. I get why but it’s not healthy so I really don’t pay it much mind. Nonetheless he says I am steps ahead of most in the program, bummer my insurance requires 6mos but oh well.
I called to make my psych appointment which will be in July, I am calling back the sleep study folks who didn’t get my order and I should be able to schedule for around the same time. Plenty of time before what I am guessing hopefully Sept I can be scheduled if it’s not too crazy, being that August would be my 6th month check in.
My biggest issue is exercise I honestly just don’t want to lmao. I know I should and I want to lift weights but I can’t lift at what I want with this hernia. It’s really just a self motivation thing at this point and no longer due to no energy. Gotta psych myself up and get into a nice routine. I’ve done it before and the weather is getting nicer so I just gotta do it.
I am worried about losing too much as I only have 12lbs in total for this program to lose and I am already at 36 BMI but the first appointment I asked and they said they send in the initial weight when I started their program so…
Will check back in for end of May!
