Diet after Thyroidectomy

Another question from me. Sorry. I take my meds at 7am in the morning and usually wait an hour until I have breakfast. I do like my tea with milk. Is it ok to have this after an hour or do I need to wait longer. Still getting the hang of all this xx

Yes, I would expect the 8 week appointment will be to check how you are doing and to make arrangements for RAI. I'm assuming that you had already been told it was cancer - some of us don't know before surgery so 8 weeks would be a long time to wait and find out whether it was or wasn't cancer. 

If you were sent home from the hospital with your first month's thyroxine, then it's great that the surgery are making sure your repeat prescription is in hand. Blood test? Hmm, as you say, the thyroxine won't be anywhere near stable but they might want to check your calcium is OK. It would be good if they did your blood test in 6 weeks time so you can take the results to your appointment. 

The 'official' line on time between T4 and food is usually 30 minutes but lots of us (me included) like to aim for an hour. It's a personal choice.
You need to avoid hot drinks during that period but there's no issue at all about having milk in your tea after an hour.
