Chocolate

[TheCarMan]

I have read all of the posts about hyper symptoms, but nobody has mentioned this one. I crave anything chocolate! It seemed to subside when I was taking anti-thyroid meds.But I have been off those in preparation for RAI.

Pretty good excuse for my addiction, huh?

sorry about the cat.  HAhahaha!

It's a pigment of Stella's imagination.
She thinks it has a huge goiter and nodules.
I think it has a parakeet stuck in there sideways. LOL!!!

Let me tell you the rest of the story.

I was 250 lbs at 6'0", used to be a bouncer, so kind of a big boy. Turned 50 yo and decided to get healthy. Lost 60 lbs. in 8 months and feeling good. Kept that weight steady for about 8 months and suddenly lost 15 lbs in one month and eating 4 full meals a day.......Graves. Got on meds and leveled off at a healthy 190-195lbs which is my fighting weight.

Two weeks ago, I spent a week in San Francisco for business/pleasure and gained 6 pounds! I was living the big life....literally!

Do they make chocolate rice cakes? I was on the peanut M&M's too. That's too funny.

Sorry about the cat.

I'm not a person who eats a lots of sweets.  I have been craving something sweet one minute and then something salty the next.  I have eaten more chocolate lately, than my  entire  life.. Cant understand it.  I even asked the drs.

During my three week extreme hyper phase I went thru a 2lb bag of M&m's a week. Amen to that.....

I didn't crave anything in particular with Graves that I remember, but I was starving 24 hours a day.  Would literally wake up in the morning to find wrappers from food every where and a bad need to brush my teeeth, but had absolutely no memory of it.  During the day I ate whenever I was awake and still couldn't keep my stomach from growling constantly.

LOL!!!

Yea. That's what they taste like, too.

The dried blueberries aren't too bad, but it's not like a bag of Doritos. :(

Tiny little dingle - berries.

I went through spells where I wasn't hungry, and I went through spells when I was eating six meals a day and all the food I could get and plenty of chocolate covered peanuts if I remember...

Drank three or four Ensures a day. Chocolate flavored... :)

Now I'm on an iodine free health food thing. Ever seen dried cranberries? Me either. :/ There's a reason.

I am addicted to chocolate....makes me happy!

[stella5349]

Yeah--- back off the kitty. He's not doing very well -

Seriously - I don't remember any cravings when hyper. Graves. I rarely ate - that I can remember.

I just made a great dinner - Ground Round chz burgers w/ all the fixing - Homemade red potatoe salad - baked beans - Green salad w/ everything and for dessert - Chz cake.
My Kids are stuffed. and Hubby is getting better.

Shouldn't you be eating seven grain rice cakes or something like radishes? My wife is making me eat rolled oats and healthy junk food. :(
