TAKE THE VITAMINS

So I took my bone scan on Monday.  Whew am I glad that I did, but to all of those that do not know, I was one of those people that thought I could get enough calicum from cheese, milk, etc, etc, but it doesn't happen that way.

Yesterday I started my Boniva.  My PCP was "SHOCKED" at how bad my bones were.  He says I am way to young, bless his heart, to be this bad.  I explained to him as to why, me being the smart ass that I am, thinking I knew more that the doc and not paying attention to the doctors instructions, and that my mom had a  severe case too.  Two doctors are blaming it mostly on the WLS itself.  The fact that we do not absorb nutrients and vitamins as we should. 

So people, once again, I beg you all, TAKE THOSE VITAMINS.  As I learned in our last support group meeting, make sure you take your calicum 2 hours apart.  Your iron seperately from them, 2 hours from your calicum too.  So it basically is an all day event.  Keep your body and bones healthy, be smart, not stupid like me.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  I am thankful for all of you!
