I'm so sorry. Bad timing, huh? DH's low iodine was over the 4th of July so he was eating plain burgers, no bun on the 4th. Yum.........
DH is feeling fine. He actually has had no issues at all and says he's pretty much felt like normal so he's been lucky. His sister had it also and she had issues with getting the right dosage and weight gain, etc. I'm not sure if it's his age or the fact that he is male that helps b/c I always hear women have more difficulty with feeling "normal" after the surgery.
I hope they get your dosage right and you start feeling better.
I asked DH and he used the low iodine cookbook on
www.thyca.org. There's a link on the left towards the top of the page.
It is a rather large cookbook online, but he said there was only one guacamole recipe on there. It was really good. He still uses it. There are some really good chips at Trader Joe's he used too.
Like I said, he used the guacamole, salsa, spaghetti sauce, and chile recipes.
He said he diet was the worst part of the whole process, worse than the surgery, etc. for him. He made it through though and lost about 5 pounds during the diet. He didn't need to lose the weight at all. He has since gained it back.
Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions for DH about the diet or anything. His doctors are at University of Chicago and he has been very happy with them so far. Hope your Endo experience gets better.
