Hello and thank you for asking!
I read your query carefully and understood your concern!
After total thyroidectomy hormonal replacement therapy is started. You didn't mention any actual treatment.
If you are not taking levothyroxine, i do recommend to start it immediately because the lack of the thyroid hormones can be the cause of many concerns.
The dose depends on your weight and 6 weeks after starting the treatment you should check the hormonal level to see if the dose is correct.
Hope i was useful.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
