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
