Starting 4th Day of Water/Juice Fast - Fasting & Hypothyroid - Is it Safe? Please Help!

This is the fourth morning of my fast and I have dropped 10.4 LBS, which I'm sure most is probably water. The headaches are pretty gruesome at times, usually in the morning.

I will try to go as long as I can, then ease into fruits, and then get back on the fast again until I can drop this excess poundage. I need to lose at least another 80 LBS.

I have a hypothyroid condition that packed 60 of those LBS on me in less then three months when I discovered the gland wasn't working properly.

I currently take 200 MCG of Synthroid daily. I also have been diagnosed with gallstones which bother me fairly regularly.

Since the fast, my right side has not been hurting but it is slightly sore and I am very conscious of my liver being present, I can feel it on all sides.

I guess my questions are: is this fasting a problem with the hypothyroid and is it true that
you can dump gall stones through fasting?

I would love to hear back if anyone is informed!

Thank you!
