Good Monday Morning My January Lovelies! I know I'm late today...I was a bad girl after the kids left for school...I went back to bed and slept in until 11am!!! Man, it felt goooood! The weekend was average and nothing special...just hanging out, doing chores...boring . So, here's my numbers:

Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 138.8
Today: 140.0
Maintaining...

Make it a great week, ladies!

Hey Brit:

I take a prescription iron pill as well, hemocyte f tablets once a day.  Before surgery I was always alitte anemic and it is about the same now.  The tablets have helped and my iron levels are just at the normal range. 

And I don't think it is bad that you enjoy the break.  May as well since you have to be there so long!  Hope all went well for you on Friday and that things go okay with the hematologist on Tuesday.  Take care

Laura!!! You can worry about losing the weight after the baby is born. I have a friend that had gastric bypass done 5 years ago and just had a baby 3 months ago. She's almost back down to her prepregnancy weight. She did say that her body has shifted and she has to buy new clothes though. Whatever happens, just think you'll have a little tiny soon! Congrats!

On no- I take an RX iron pill everyday- but I hate them cuz they constipate me- that's whay I was so happy to find those digestive health probiotics food.
I am just hoping that the hematologist will get my iron levels to norm and then I can stop the prescription one and go to an over the counter one and just wanted to know what everyone else was taking.
Thanks-
Brit

Iron and calcium are molecularly attracted to one another. So, if taken near each other and before they have had a chance to absorb, they will bind together and are then impossible for the body to utilitze. Iron does, however, become more bio-available when taken orally with vitamin C (asorbic acid)...therefore the oj or a vitamin C supplement.
How's that for a *nursey* answer?
