3 years post-op here and have dealt with some of the same things. Agree with not taking Calcium at the same time as iron. Also it helps to take Vitamin C with the Iron and Vitamin D with the Calcium. Either can be taken with your multi-vitamin, but just one of them.
As far as the hypoglycemia it is a nuisance. I've gotten big into endurance sports and have dealt with some pretty wild rollercoasters with my blood sugar (been down in the 20's a couple of times). There's not much good support for this out there, my original surgeons office hasn't offered me much support and I've gone to endrocronlogist who basically said it's late dumping. Just be really mindful of your hypoglycemia. For me it creeps up about 2 hours after eating carbs OR after doing some exercising.
Good luck!

Now the "thought" sends me off the edge.
My family support has also vanished, I'm wondering if the two are related.
Anyways, I'd really appreciate some input. This doesn't last does it??
Thanks.

Welcome back Lori. I know what you mean about losing focus. Seems like I start out my day "thinking" I am gonna stay focused, but it never turns out that way..... I quit smoking a few months ago and then I gained back like 15 pounds, and i had just reached my goal too..... Didn't really change anything either, so now I guess I need to really get my act together as well.
Good Luck and we are all here for you....
