I am stuck right now too. I am 7 motnhs out on the 22nd and I am -85 lbs and have been stuck for 4 weeks. I am just waiting for the plateau to end. I still have 80lbs to go. Any suggestions are welcome to me also!

Topic: RE: iron deficient
Sue,
I just recently started iron also. I also heard that ferrous sufate is not absorbed by us. My labs were in normal range and my surgeon's office didn't think I needed to take iron, but my PCP said anyone with a ferritin level below 50 should take iron. My ferritin level is 37. What is you ferritin level?
I just started taking Gentle Iron by Solgar. Also I have heard that we also absorb carbonyl iron, so look for this on the label.

Hi Sherry! 
I love the IDS too. I mix the IDS Cappucino with Champion Stack Chocolate for a great mocha taste. I couldn't live without it! I buy mine at fitnessfirstusa.com (with the www. in front). I get 5 pounds for $29.95. I've even got some of my non WLS friends hooked on this stuff.
Have a great day!

Cindy,
I am having the same problem. I am only eating about 800 or less calories a day. This has really slowed my weight loss. I am trying to eat more often but I forget. I would like to eat about 1000 calories a day.

Topic: About how many?
I am 7 months out of surgery and curious about others who are about the same length out. I would like to know how many caloires a day you are getting in. I know my surgeons guidelines but am curious about how many anyone else at this point can do. I cannot seem to up my calories from the comfortable place I have found and therefore seem to keep stalling for two and three weeks at time. Thanks for any replies!

KT you HOTTIE! I'm just so happy for you! You don't look like you've ever had a weight problem at all, your dress is adorable with the little sweater, isn't awesome to wear what we WANT instead of what hides our bodies best??? YAY!!!!
Good job sweetie!
Love,
Sue

Ruth,
Have you had your labs done and has your iron been ok? I'm hearing some stuff on the California board that says that we can't absorb Ferrous Sulfate and need different forms of iron. Also, I have heard that we shouldn't take viactiv for the same reasons and should take calcium citrate, which I do. Let me know what your experience with this has been if you get a chance.
Love,
Sue

Lol, thanks! I really had no idea,a picture can put a lot into perspective for you. I dont feel as big as I was, but I guess I thought I still look like that. We really are our own worst critics. Slap me.
