Five reasons why being hypo is great!

[TamraW]

1. Hair is overrated.
2. Nothing beats the taste of gritty orange Metamucil.
3. Gotta love those mid-day naps.
4. I've always wanted to try the jumbo, super-absorbent maxi pads.
5. I have a good excuse for the extra 10-20 pounds.

Can you come up with five more???

Best of all, I get to visit my McDreamy Surgeon that did my T.T.  If you're gonna get cancer, get yourself a hot doc.

Yesterday we had to go somewhere and were already late.  We were two blocks from home and I told my husband  "We have to go back home I forgot my glass's!"

He looked at me and just laughed ...didn't say a word just laughed.  It took me a minute before I realized they were on my face.

Ever hunted high and low for your car keys for hours only to find them in your hand? lol
My Doc has finally accepted after 26 years that I am 'JUST NOT NORMAL' lol.

I too have the hypo weight gain.  Before thyroid problems (5 years ago) I weighed 125 which was good since I am only 5 feet tall.  My weight at diagnosis in April of this year was 180!!  I weighed in at my endo appt yesterday and I am happy to report I am down to 158!  Although I still feel like s*** I am happy SOMETHING is responding to the meds.  Long way to go though!

As far as the hypo memory issues, lets see who can beat this........  Yesterday I could not find my lighter (yes shhhhh I smoke) and it drove me nuts.  This morning as I was getting ready to take my shower I was undressing and my lighter hit the ground when I took my bra off!!!!  Now how in the he// did it get in there???????????

[stella5349]

Yeah - Laura is the Florida Queen!!! ya know....  MKlazca is on her way down there to - to be the Princess flatlander..... LOL

Pancake Butt??? LOL - waaay to funny.

She ( the weight fairy)  packed a beer gut on me that I am fighting with since my thyroid was blown out!!

Clip her wings???............... Heck............ " Shoot the *****!!!! "     :)

[kidsnchicks]

If I had known you all wanted big breasts ... I couldv'e given all you wanted without you going hypo!  I'd gladly give 'em up.

I've had bigguns since I was in the 5th grade!  Its the first place I gain and last place I lose.  I'm hyper and still gained weight!  Just my luck.  Now ... on the rear ... I'd gladly take any extra I can get.  I have a major case of pancake butt!  Actually its not as bad since the weight gain but still.  Hmm ... maybe if I pushed the breasts in hard enough, it might make my butt pop out?  I can only dream.

Please keep that weight fairy away from here too!  Don't just clip the wings ... shoot it down!  LOL!

Sure wish I could lay around in bed and get away with it.  I'm jealous!

[laura1967]

Ahemmmm....can someone please send the breast fairy over to me????? I didn't get nice larger ones?!!  NOT FAIR!!
The weight fairy dropped by with 15 lbs though.......if someone catches her, clip her wings so she can't drop by anymore! LOL
I was always under weight so the weight is the thing that really bothers me.
But yeah I really love those days of laid out fatigue because i tried to accomplish a full day of physical activity!  :)

[TamraW]

I got teased for what I 'didn't have', too. I'd always wanted big ones, and now it's frustrating to go shopping and I can't pull the top over my chest. Finding the right bra has been hard, too.

Hubby doesn't complain, though!

:) Tamra

[Smilerdeb]

You too???
I'm the same...I hate the darn things so wear sports tops.

Barb..I got teased for what I 'didnt have' lol.
Laying down you would think I was a man in the past...no boobies at all.
Now they get in the way lol.

[stella5349]

BRA???

what's that?

I find the support T- tops are my ONLY support now!

Ever since getting  that sick so bad - I cannot wear a bra - any longer than an hour or so.

I wanna tear the dam thing off right after I clip it!

[Tamara300]

I gained the extra cleavage too!  Nursed 5 children and nothing stayed, but 1 year after being hypo and I outgrew all my bras!  If only we could rearrange where the other excess deposted itself!

[Barb135]

I get to "listen to what the *voices* tell me..................lol

Alas, no extra cleavage, but then I didn't really want any ----- cuz I got tired of everyone making fun of what I had -- most likely from jealousy, huh??

[stella5349]

Yes - I can say I have some definate cleavage now too!

[TamraW]

This is the second post I've read on growing breasts. Really, I thought after I was finished nursing my baby, I just got lucky that they just stayed large. I had a relative ask if I'd had them done.

Punkin, my mom had her thyroid removed 13 years ago. I flew home from college for the surgery. She came home after 1 1/2 days and was back to her old self soon after. She is 75 now and otherwise healthy, except that her doctor, who has done nothing for four years, needs to adjust her Synthroid!!!

1.  Its sometimes 'nice' being in a different world from everyone else!

2.  Doctors receptionists look at you with a weird cautious look wondering if you are going to massacre them or hug them. The 'look' is a classic!

3.  I have bigger boobies now than I've had all my life and at no extra cost...no implants! lol

4.  I spike my hair and instead of using gel, it stands up on its own due to being course. Saved a fortune in hair wax!

5.  I met my best friends and family HERE.

[stella5349]

You can drink a beer and bloat out like a man within seconds!!!!

[punkin1515]

Hahaha.... I am sooo close to having my Thyroid removed, and I can not tell you all how very much this page has helped me.
Thanxxx everyone.   Cara

I have uploaded the diploma to my photo folder.

[redheadaussie]

Yes, I already have one which was actually given to me by my a doctor. He, with regal arm waving, pronounced me;- "Armchair Internet Doctor"
I, of course, took this admirable comment with the flattery it deserved...by slamming his door on my way out!

Tamra.. I want the first one! So I can go back and say..SEE! I really am a professional now!

[TamraW]

I am a graphic designer by trade. I think I will have to design a 'Certified Internet Endocrinologist' diploma and post it in my photos.  I will leave the name blank, so you can print it at home and write in your name.

This will be fun.
