al007 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Six years ago I was around 100kilos at 6ft 2in that was OK ish, however went to 140kilos, not a big beer drinker five bottles a week and some samsung whisky/rum, I believe my weight gain was not just food Currently I need to loose weight for possible major surgery in Feb next year At the moment I am having radiation treatment and chemotherapy, for a couple of cancers One of the 15 plus doctors I have seen in the last two months said have a thyroid test, i did; the result was for TSH 4.15, with the norm 0.30 to 4.10, so I am outside I see thyroid can affect weight/metabolism, tiredness, and depression all of which are applicable to me In the last month my diet has been changed dramatically, I eat musli; yogurt and fresh fruit for breakfast then 2/3 small meals/snacks, in the rest of the day, some pork or chicken no fat or skin, some chicken liver, nothing fried, smoke salmon, smoked ham, a small amount of brown bread, a lot of corn on the cob, a lot of salad, carrots, advocado, one every three days, a lot of fruit, no alcohol, a lot of juice including pomegranate, quite a lot of zero fat yogurt, no coffee, no sweet drinks, I also take extra vitamins, and vitamin C While on my current treatment have to watch my red white blood count have weekly blood tests and ok I have lost 10 kilos so far but having problems getting lower, I seem to have hit a plateau I want to loose another 20 kilos over the next two months, and be just under 110 kilos, which would be a 21% weight loss, form the original 140kilos eventually I want to aim to be below 100 kilos I walk about 1 hr a day, six weeks ago I came back from prostate surgery in india and was in a wheel chair Where and who in Bangkok do I go; to seek advice on thyroid I need some pointers, and just wonder the relevance of my thyroid level, any input appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 For thyroid issues I recommend Dr Rossanee or Dr. Jun at Bumrungrad https://www.bumrungrad.com/doctors/Rosanee-Valyasevi https://www.bumrungrad.com/doctors/Jun-Srimanunthiphol Both are quite good. If they put you on thyroid replacement (as they may) do not buy at the hospital pharmacy, huge mark up. It is readily available, and cheap, at any pharmacy.

al007 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Had six lots of blood tests re various thyroid functions, cost just over 1000batt TSH now 3.5 limits 0.3 to 4.1, before it was 4.15, hence the concern, all the other thyroid tests show me to be middle ground So now do not need to see an endocrinologist, but very pleased I checked further My PSA that peaked at 15.1 before prostate Holep surgery, when cancer was found is now at 2.05 very acceptable, before my chemo and radiation it had dropped to 6.1, after the surgery, I find this encouraging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
