Topic: RE: Iron Supplements
I just started iron about a week ago - my 3 month blood work came back low - I already feel a lot better. I didn't realize how listless I was..
You may have to take it for life, or maybe you still be able to stop at menopause. Or maybe you'll be able to decrease to like twice a week once your numbers are good.. everyone is going to be different I'm sure.
I think I am taking 325mg once per day (at night) - vitamin C is included, to help absorption. Don't take it with calcium or your multivitamins if they contain calcium.
I've also had to add fiber and use glycerin suppositories because of constipation from the iron.
Topic: RE: 10 wks out What are you eating?
Oh Joni,
I am so sorry to hear that. I know when I cut my hair off - as stupid as it sounds , it was very trumatic. (I had about 4 feet of hair). I am loosing lots of it per day and have tried every stinkin shake there is, just can NOT get them down. My brother, who had this surgery, gave me some UNJURY chicken soup mix, it has 21 grams of protein in it and that is going down really well. I am going to order more today. I fugure if I can drink one of those a day, and eat the rest I will be good to go. Honestly it tastes like lipton chicken soup broth, no nasty smell or aftertaste (other than the broth taste). I feel so badly for you, please try to keep trying, I KNOW it is hard.

Topic: RE: Question about Calories?
Thanks Deanna,
Sounds like we are about at the same point. Most days I have no trouble with my fluid intake, as long as I really make it a priority! I have been hunting this week and have been kind of bad about everything, so it is time to get back on track! I lost 55lbs before surgery and I have lost 47lbs since. So I am a little bit of a slower loser but I know I am somewhere near normal. I have been about where I am now for 2 weeks but I have notice the inches going down, I am down from a size 28 pants(too tight) to a size 20 so that is fabulous to me!! I am going to try to increase my intake and see if that helps me out! I do pretty good with my protein intake too but all I really eat is meat and cheese. ANd than I drink one of those NewWhey protein Bullets, actually it is 3 oz 176 calories and 42g protein, so I drink one ounce a day and it gives me roughly 58 calories and 14g of protein. And if I haven't gotten enough in for the day I will drink more of it. The only one I can stand is the orange and they are nasty, but I put one ounce in the little cup and drink it quick like a shot! Than I quick take a drink of water to get the taste out of my mouth! LOL Well good luck to you too~ sorry so long I must be type happy today! LOL Have a happy thanksgiving too! Kristi
