When my thyroid numbers began to show normal ranges and I came off the methimazole and inderal, I gained weight very quickly. My clothes felt tight, as if I was being blown up like an air mattress. I felt like I was hypothyroid. I picked up my exercise routine but did not change my eating habits because I thought I was doing a good job at eating healthy. I have gained 20 lbs since January. I now crave carbs!! All of the weight gain has been around the belly area. My new plan includes eating much less and trying to stay away from the things I am craving. This is so hard, but I know it needs to be a lifelong journey. It is comforting knowing that others are experiencing the same thing and that I am not alone in this.
