Thyroid scar update...10 months after final surgery.

I quit using Scar Away about a month ago because I ran out and the patch was irritating my skin.

I started using Bio-Oil 3 weeks ago as a supplement and it looks great. It only gets "red" when I am hot or working out. Yay!!

Progress.....

"take your thyroid medicine 30 min to an hour before you eat!"

I have always stayed true to this...making sure I take my medicine long, long before I eat in the morning. This is very hard to do when traveling or staying in other people's homes.

My boyfriend and I traveled to see his sister's family over the weekend.

I set my alarm to take my levothyroxine 112 at 6:00 am but didn't want to get up and search a new house for water... Side note... This house is undergoing a kitchen renovation.

Anyway, I took my meds when I woke up and then ate a biscuit. No big deal right? I didn't think it would be too bad since I am pretty consistent with taking my meds.

Once I got back home from trip, I slept 5 hours straight and woke up feeling nauseous. I've noticed that I feel this way when I don't take the meds at all (for treatment).

Lesson learned!!!!

Last treatment results...

Here is a card my endocrinologist sent me today! Praise God!

Happy me.....

LID recipes for dinner!

Again, I got all of my recipes from... http://thyca.org/Cookbook.pdf ---GREAT resource!!

You can have up to 6 oz. of fresh/cooked meat a day, so I usually saved this for dinner/supper (if I didn't eat any chicken salad for lunch...).  Here are some recipes I made this time...

The BBQ chicken was my favorite! Yum...Yum! It did take 3 hours, but I had nothing else to do, plus I made enough for 2 other meals! I ate it with fresh green beans, potato salad (also in cook book), or fried squash and onions. 

This was another good one. I didn't make any homemade bread, so I just ate it without...no big deal. I had no salt ketchup to dip it in and was fine. I ate this with either fresh green beans, fried squash and onions, or corn on the cob!

This was another good one. I made this the first go around with ground beef, but I made it with ground turkey this time. It felt healthier and didn't taste any different to me once I added all the other ingredients. I served this over basmati rice and had various vegetables with it. Great tasting! It also freezes well!
