So I am three years post op and 13 months after my surgery I got pregnant with my first child 14 months later I got pregnant with my 2nd child. Found out during my second pregnancy I had extremely low Iron. Almost had to have a blood transfusion during my c-section. Wondering what other ppl take for there supplements. I have had a lot of stomach issues with my Iron supplements just started a new one so far so good.  Also just recently found out I have Low blood sugar ( Hypoglycemic ). I have read that it is happening to a lot of ppl who are Post op.

I personally take a carbonyl iron supplement since the regular over-the-counter iron supplement gave me wicked constipation. Can't help you with the low blood sugar.

So for all that posted they do have hypoglycemia, is it all the time? I have specific fruit that cause my blood sugars to drop. Wondering if specific foods cause your blood sugars to crash or are you overall low blood sugar mostly all the time?
