Hi everyone...

My vitamin d is extremely low. My doc recommends 5000iu once a day, but I know Vitalady recommends more. What do you think? Gina? Anyone? I definitely have symptoms.

 Coffee
Egg Taco 20g
Low Carb Chicken "Noodle" Soup 14g

 Oh my, I am confused!  I called and said I had a hard time with ferrous sulfate in the past and asked her to prescribe proferrin forte.  I should pick up today.

Should I push for a ferritin blood draw?

total iron binding capacity: 444mcg
Total iron 47 mg
Saturation 11%
hemoglobin 12.5 g/dl 5.2%
hematocrit 38.2%

It doesn't look like she tested ferritin.  I have the hardest time getting anyone to test ferritin!

 Hi Ladies,

I got labs back and found out I have low iron.

My total  was 47 mctg/dl
and my saturation was only 11%

She is my primary care and recommended ferrous sulfate 325mg twice a day with food.  Is that accurate for me with my surgery?

 Last Tues (when I decided to get serious about getting on track:
163.2

Today:
161.6

-1.6

I am good with that.

 I'm here and I did track yesterday, just didn't post here :( I now set my browser to open this and the dailyplate upon opening, so hopefully I will be better about it.

Has anyone else tried the Light & Fit greek yogurt?  OMG so delicious.  Finally a flavored greek yogurt that I can eat.  I dump so I can't eat regular flavored greek yogurt, and I find plain to taste like eating sour cream!

 Thank you Linda. 

I will start checking in.  I guess in order to switch my support program I have to pay $140 to meet with the nutritionist to get started.  Worth it for sure, but not the best time (back to school, 3 birthdays in a row, etc).  I am going to do it though because I am worth it!!!

 I am here...

 So I was wondering if anyone in their tracking tracked calories and knew what we should be eating during maintenance?

I actually want to lose 15 lbs, but the tracking says to lose I should eat 1100...isn't that too low?
