Hi all. Gina, you're early. I was just looking at posts and enjoying an after work cup of coffee. Feeling better but was still up coughing last nite. What a pain!

I've been having stomach issues since last evening, so may go light for the rest of the day.

I copied all my pre-op labs on a spreadsheet today and the limited labs I had done on early Feb. I'm getting my 3 month labs done ( a little late) next Wednesday. My Ferritan was in the tank before surgery.

B: 4 slices bacon (8), double protein shake (46)
S: double protein shake (46)
L: Greek yogurt with pecans (20)
S: 2 string cheese (16)
S: 1/2 Deviled egg (3)
D: not sure....protein shake for sure
S: double cafe mocha for sure

Vites: all but last batch in. Fluids: 80+. Exercites: watching Idol tonight .

Yep, go light if you need to. Glad your cold is better.

Should I be swinging lizards for your ferritin? What are you taking for it?

Lizards might help. I'm taking Proferrin. I've had a life long history of anemia but in Feb my H & H were good. Maybe I should just sign up for infusions now. LOL

Well, if you do get infusions, my understanding is you can keep taking Proferrin and it helps your levels stay up. You're right though, the Proferrin fixed my H & H big time. I think the combo of Proferrin and Tender (carbonyl iron) finally fixed all my iron markers though. Wishing you good luck with your labs.

Thanks. I looked and my pre-op Ferritan was 6! Eeeek.

Maybe I'll add a little tender iron.
