4 1/2 years. Up from 98lbs to 120.
Jun 28, 2012
My family is much more happy to see me at a 'normal' weight. I was looking a bit like a chemo patient at 98lbs for so long.For me, it's scary. I quite smoking in January and gained 12lbs the first week! EEK. I've replaced cigarettes with hard candies, and now I must break THAT addiction. I do not want to gain anymore weight, and I sure am not interested in starting that whole diet yo-yo after all I've gone through. So, back to reforming another habit which has sustained me this far.
4 1/2 years, my bloodwork has been good, except for the low VIt D -- NOW suddenly we are seeing low iron, RBC are malformed and low. My fault, I guess. I haven't taken the vitamins religiously and so now it's beginning to show.
Because I take blood thinners, I'm unable to eat green leafy veggies like spinach, no liver type high iron foods, so I need to get serious about my intake and vitamins. :(
It's all a conundrum for me, due to severe hypoglycemia brought on by dumping, the blood thinner problem and now the need to up my iron intake. YIKES
