Well according to my doctor I should have about 60 grams of protien a day. I get this in and like you I still feel crappy. I am tired allot. I had blood work done to make sure I am not low in Iron or B-12 and I am just a bit low on Iron, nothing to worry about. So I guess it is the road we are on right now. I must say I get jealous of those who are full of energy now You should get your blood work done just to rule out any issues, better safe then sorry. Jenn

Hi Deanna, I have to really watch the constipation as I just had emergency major surgery at the end of May for complete bowel obstruction from bowel strangulation caused by my old c-section scars. I just saw the surgeon today and he looked at my new ct scan and said I have to take a new medication because I have an abnormal amound of fecal matter in my bowels. They also suggested prune juice as they said that it can cause "dumping syndrome" and in small amound would help to create movement in my bowels. Take care, God bless, Syndi

thanks I needed that!!
