Hypothyroid 3 years post op?

I am almost 3 years post op and have been doing well until the last 6 months. I have gained 10 lbs but eating habits and excerise have not changed. Anyway, I was diagnosed with hypothyroid and hypotestostrene 2 days ago. I have been having my thyroid checked routinely for over 7 years and it has been normal until about 6 months ago it began to slowly drop until it is now low. I don't do soy products at all and like I said for at least 6 1/2 years my thyroid has been normal. I do not take any type of medication that could cause hypothyroid as a side effect. My question is how many other people have experineced this same situation and once placed on medication were we able to control your weight once again?
