I have sizes 22, 24 and some 20s to trade. Currently, I'm floating between a 20 and 18, but I'm hoping with my fill next week, I'll be kicked out of 18s before the end of the summer.

I know I posted a while ago about this, but my clothes are really starting to fall off, and I have plenty of in decent shape clothing... The cancer society is stopping by hour house for a pick up soon, but I'd rather trade off for something I can wear. Anyone know of the next swap???

today I had another Dr Praeger's vegetable burger with a slice of swiss cheese on a whole grain whole wheat roll and the rest of the cucumber salad.

I started taking three 2,000 IU of Nature Made Vitamin D a day.  I also take two 500 mg of chewable vitamin C, 65 mg of ferrius sulfate (IRON), 462mg of magnesium, B6/FolicAcid/B12, two Caltrate Calcium with vitamin D, Nature's Plus Adult Chewable multi vitamin and mineral dietary supplement, Move Free Chondrotin and Glucosamine (suppossed to help my joints) and stool softener (because of the iron).

I have been having issues with my teeth cracking, and have had spinal surgery and one knee replacement and cataract surgery.  

Can you let me know what vitamins you take.  My protein deficiency and iron deficiency have finally cleared up....but the the vitamin D level is still low.  I dont have the number.

I am able to eat almonds and nuts and a little olive oil.  But I get sick if I eat something high in fat....I finally got my blood sugar to remain level by having 6 meals a day instead of 3.   

I had a regular gastric bypass surgery back in December 2004.  Didnt start to have any problems until 2007. 

I'm really nosy.  You should know that up front.

You mentioned you were deficient in vitamin D up above.  How much and what form of it are you taking?  Also, how deficient are you - what's your number?  I don't know how much your NUT/surgeon's office informs you of vitamin research, but I take 100,000 iu of dry vitamin D3 daily (that's 2 tiny capsules - one at lunch, one at bedtime) in addition to my other vitamins.  You can only get that by mail from Vitalady.  Prescription D is oil-based, and for people who don't absorb fat, it's pretty much useless.  I think you might be absorbing less fat than you think with those cholesterol numbers.  Did you have a standard proximal RNY or was it more medial?

Do all forms of fat make you sick?  Nuts, avocado, olive oils?  If you can up those at all, you may have a better chance of absorbing your D, which in turn will help you absorb your calcium.  You're taking calcium citrate, right?  And a good adult multivitamin?  And you're keeping your iron separated from your calcium?

Sorry for the nosy questions!  I'm used to seeing lots of vitamin questions from my DS peeps, so I just have to ask them.
