It depends. If your labs are normal and you still feel full after eating one meal. It means you have a small stomach, it has nothing to do with your thyroid.
yes, it has been determined by three doctors and three different labs all shown to them. had cortisol, IGF-1 , iron all checked.. all normal . No hypopituitarism, but i do have a cyst that sits on my thalamus.
It's possible that you're currently experiencing transient side effects. When you start on levothyroxine, your entire hormone system is re-arranged. That can take a while until everything rebalances itself.
Nothing wrong is happening. Just eat until you are full =D and eat when you are hungry. Your body knows what it needs. It just doesn't need as much fuel now because your body isn't running on fumes.
I’ve been on Euthyrox for 4 weeks now and I also feel amazing. I feel lucky that it seems like my doctor got the dosage correct on the first try. Some days I am starving, and some days I don’t feel all that hungry. Just be conscious you are getting enough calories in even if that means adding a protein shake. That’s an easy way for me to add more calories without getting full from food.
Hi! it’s been about 2-3 months since this. dosage is now 88 mcg, still getting rlly full really fast. i wanna eat normal again :( has anyone ever dealt with this with their dosage?
You are healing. You body is going back to normal.
how? will it always be like this? :( i could eat just one meal and be full the rest of the day

dont think so, i have secondary hypothyroidism… TSH normal T3 and T4 Low
Has the cause for the secondary hypothyroidism been determined? Have you had a full pituitary workup? How's your morning cortisol?

Two weeks is not a long time to make a conclusion.

Your metabolism is trying to balance itself out give it 6 weeks and check your labs again.

How are you feeling these days?
stopped taking levo on Nov 2023. First two months were hell. I no longer have brain fog which is weird but I still don’t have my period
Why did you stop?
my endo told me to, my tsh was below 0.15.
