WOW deb....i am surprised they want ur protein down. I saw my surgeon yesterday. All my blood work is fine. HOWEVEr due to numbness i have in fingers and toes i am moving up to 2 centrum chewable and a vitamin b complex added to my supplement and to come back in 4 weeks. SHOCKED with the protein issue. GLAD your doing well.

Lisa, Yeah I was too but they said it can cause kidney problems if you take to much in per day. I got a copy of my labs today and they really look good so I must be doing something right. Also they wanted me to drop down to 1 centrum chewable a day but if all looks good I am not sure I want to. I know I have heard of the numbness being lack of B12 sometimes so maybe that is why you have to take the 2 now. They did show my white blood count is high so maybe that has something to do with the women issue I am having that I see the gyno for on Monday but we will see... Take care Debra P

YES i was put on the additional centrum chewable and a VIT B complex to see if it helps the numbness issues. I was surprised he wanted me to take the b complex vs the b12 but i trust his choice. so i will see what a month brings. I am surprised they are cutting back on your vitamins if you been takeing the two for some time. SO confuseing! Well good luck with the OB GYN! THOSE problems stink too ! LISA

Hi Deb i'm glad to hear everythings ok! I was also told to watch protien intake I was on some days up at about 68 or 69 grams I was told to high protien can add to constipation .I'm glad your blood was ok! You seem to really be doing well Good luck at the Doctor next week !!!
