Is It Safe Running And Controlled Diet After Thyroid Removed?
I recently had my thyroid removed. Have started on Synthroid 100. I eat soy and a high fiber diet, no meat. I am runner, at least 2-3 miles , five days a week. I lost 60 lbs. last year, I am worried that I ll gain weight now. Can I continue my runners lifestyle and diet? Thank you.

HI
YOU CAN DEFINATELY CONTINUE WITH YOUR RUNNERS LIFESTYLE AND DIET.SINCE YOU HAVE UNDERGONE THYROID REMOVAL SURGERY I FEEL YOU MAY HAVE TO TAKE THYROXINE LIFELONG.I SUGGEST YOU TO DO SERUM TSH TEST AND ADJUST DOSE OF THYROXINE.
BUT AS FAR AS YOUR LIFESTYLE IS CONCERENED PLEASE CONTINUE RUNNING AND BE HEALTHY!!!
