SO I went to my WLS doc yesterday and have a new iron and vit D prescription seems like I was more than a quart low!
Which might explain the extreme sugar cravings
oh and he said 3 meals and 1-2 snacks depending I Was eating ALL DAY! hopefully the vities will help with that
have you guys ever used Bariatric edge vities?
right now I'm just doubling up on my regular multi

Makes sense now, I craved sugar like crazy when I was anemic!

My GP did a panel of bloodwork at my request and found that my iron was about a 1/2 court low! I wasn't low enough to worry about but he just wanted to get it up a bit. I had been taking the childen's chewable my surgeon's nurse recommended and it didn't have ANY iron in it! GP said to change my vits. to a woman's daily version. I switched to Centrum Chewables for women...so far I am not low enough for a prescription.

Everything else turned out great...kidney function, electralytes (spelling), liver funtion, bloodsugar work up....all just fine.
