Friday 20th- flexi syn day

My main aim yesterday was to keep within the syns I have for the week i.e my 15 plus what i hasnt used already this week so about 25 in total. Not sure how well I kept within that but not a dead loss either.

Had a gorgeous raspberry and white choc scone with butter and jam I imagine this was my 15 syns gone easy.

Lunch- vegetable stroganoff with lots of super free veg, a few chips nicked off DH and a bit of garlic bread (heb tweak lol), diet coke.

Dinner- ff supernoodles, quorn sausages, 2 scan bran with dairylea triangle and salad (part heb)

1/2 a scan bran carrot cake with quark topping (heb)

hea-2
heb- 2
syns approx 25???

So, I had my hospital appointment yesterday which went quite well. I have been feeling pretty lousy recently which I have put down to the medication I am on for Graves disease (overactive thyroid). At my last apt levels were pretty high despite the 'block and replace' I was on and I was told to stop taking my levothyroxine.

Yesterday my levels were within the 'normal' range- free t4 was 10.3 down from 39 and tsh remains at <0.02 which it could be at for months or years. As my body is so used to being over this was a shock to my system so no wonder i have felt so bad and the weight has been hard to lose. Still at least it is progress, my consultant has agreed to decrease my dosage of carbimazole rather than give me levothyroxine as I am apparently quite sensitive to it We are hoping to get my level up to around 15 and see how i feel.

So I am hoping this will do the trick as I am finding the slow weight loss a bit de-motivational, not to mention the tiredness and all the other symptoms!

Thanks moira, I know the baked beans were a bit random lol but they hit the spot at the time. Had my docs apt yesterday, I posted about it above. Seems to be moving in the right direction, I can cope when I know they can do something about it but it is hard when know your body doesnt like it and you still have to give it the 8 weeks.

So glas it is the weekend and we were off yesterday too, out and about and doing lots with the kids which was great. I am much improved fom last year when I couldnt even pick up the LO at this stage I was so weak!

Ria, just catching up with your diary, it's been one of those weeks. I'm glad your hospital appointment went well and your results are looking good. They don't do block and replace up here but I understand how it is supposed to work. What are the lab ranges for TSH and free t4 ? Your food is looking good this week, especially that yummy scone lol

Hi Ria,
glad to see your back on plan. There must be something in the air cos I was bold from last Thursday too. At least you had a few nice days by the sound of it and enjoyed yourself. Sometimes we just need a wee break.
