Metabolism questions...? Please read?


Question:
I had my thyroid removed a month ago. and I am going to start my thyroid replacement pills soon. I was told without my thyroid, I have no metabolism produsing in my body and that I will gain weight.I am already gaining some. My questions are... Is there are away to get a high metabolism when you have no thyroid? and second, the thyroid pills I am given will they contain enough metabolism to keep me in good weight? Or should I start worring now? Are there other pills that will give me my high metabolism back?

Answers:
The thyroid medication will give the metabolism back if it's in the right dose. I tested the blood level of my medication every other month to begin with so that the doctor could balance my medication to the needed level.
Ask your medical professionals about this. They may have good advice on diet and exercise to keep things under control.
