They make you go super hypothryoid before they treat with radioactive iodine. So that means my metabolism will be **** for those weeks. I also have to follow a special low iodine diet for a week ( no dairy, no soy, which means no protein powders ,no fish,no seafood, nothing from the sea, nothing with iodized salt so pretty much any processed foods or condiments , meat limited to 6 oz a day. no red dyes etc ) then I get to be radioactive for about a week where I isolate myself so I don't contaminate anyone else.

I am 4 weeks out from surgery and I do hear you on the tired thing. Today is my third day back and I'm going to tough it out through lunch supervision and if I still feel exhausted I am going home for the afternoon.
I started phase 3 of food and I'm glad to be on it, a lot easier to find foods to bring to work etc.
I hope you can go to the meet and greet and talk to people who are further along in this journey.
