Weight gain post RAI

Has anyone else struggled with weight gain after RAI? My thyroid levels are starting to even out and I have noticed I've started to put on a little weight. Is this something I will have to live with, or has anyone else had success losing weight (and keeping it off) once going hypo?

Thanks, Lori

Hi Lori,

I had RAI in Oct and gained 15 pounds from not being on meds and not having a thyroid. I am just now starting to lose alittle of it. UGH!! I still have awful night sweats and can't sleep a wink. I run alot and play softball once a week and just now starting to see a difference. It is very frustrating. Hang in there and hopefully your meds will get increased to help with the weight gain.

Take care Dyan :)
