Good morning all i was wondering if anyone knows if throid removal will affect my trying to grow breast tissue , been fairly successful on herbs any help ?

Hard to say really... Why are you having it removed?

If you have had an over-active thyroid previously, and a very fast metabolism, you will find it easier to put weight on after the removal and adequate medication to give you a normal metabolism. That means it will be easier to gather fat in the breast area. If that wasn't a problem to start with, it's difficult to tell. It will take a while to get the metabolism right afterwards.

I had quite a success with NBE and herbs even though my metabolism was really slow due to hypothyroidism, for which I wasn't medicating at the time. I have been taking levothyroxine since february this year though, not noticing much change yet.

My thyroid has nodes and on the nodes are type a cells possibly cancer but don't want to take any chaces so they are taking the whole thing out

It might take a while to find the right dosage of meds to provide you with a sufficient metabolism after the removal but you should be ok to try NBE regardless. Pay attention to your body temperature though, because if it is too low, your growth won't be optimal.

I hope you have stayed clear of soy because that tends to f*ck up peoples thyroids.

If your temp is low, try a tablespoon of coconut oil a day.

Hey FF, what is the story with soy?
I'm new here, still finding my way around, my first post, still trying to figure things out (only been 47 years :} )
I enjoy cooking and eating with soy sauce, tamari, and edamame (boiled soy beens). Are you talking soy as an herbal supplement in high doses or just general consumption of soy? I had never heard anything negative (health wise) associated with soy.

I'm glad I finally found this forum and have enjoyed reading your posts, you seem to really know what you're talking about. Maybe I'll be able to finally figure out and come to terms with who/what I am. Thanks.

Soy might not have been a problem for you in the past, but when your gland is removed you will be 100% relying on thyroid hormones in pill form and it is crucial that those aren't messed about.

The isoflavones in soy act as potent anti-thyroid agents, and can suppress thyroid function, causing or worsening hypothyroidism. High consumption of soy products are also proven to cause goiter. Flavonoids inhibit thyroid peroxidase (TPO), which disturbs proper thyroid function.

Isoflavones belong to the flavonoid or bioflavonoid family of chemicals, and are considered endocrine disruptors - plants or other products that act as hormones, disrupting the endocrine system, and in some cases, this involves acting as an anti-thyroid agent. All phytoestrogens are endocrine disruptors but only some affect the thyroid.

When I did some research on what to avoid in terms of food after I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I found a lot of advice to avoid spinach, peanuts, soy, broccoli and a few others. If you are having your thyroid removed, you will be taking these thyroid hormones in pill form in the future and what if soy interferes with your meds just like it interferes with the hormones created by the thyroid itself? Then you might get ill. Google all info you can find on thyroid and soy. It would be a good idea to find out if isoflavones may interfere with such meds as the ones you will be taking since it's endocrine hormones in pill form.

After thyroid op, maybe it is good to avoid:
broccoli, cabbage, brusselsprouts, cauliflower, kale, spinach, turnips, soybeans, peanuts, linseed, pine nuts, millet, cassava, and mustard greens.
