I highly recommend you use this sheet that Julie posted a week or so ago on the main forum:

http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/6031736/Tracking-your -lab-results/

I use that to track and it helps me to see not only what the normal levels are but also the recommended levels for someone post-WLS. Additionally, I can see changes over time.

You iron is getting really low. Ferritin of 16 is relatively low. I know I struggle when my ferritin drops below 30. Like really struggle.

Low ferritin can lead to RLS syndrome.

Try to supplement with more iron if you can tolerate that.

Good luck.

That's what I thought, but I also thought I'd leave it to someone much smarter that I am to reply.
