Pay direct attention to your 6 mon post op blood work!!!!

Hi Everyone, This is my soapbox speach. Six months post I hit the wall directly hard! I am low on vitamin B-12, B-1, calicum, and vitamin D. Reminder take your VITAMINS please! Lack of B-1 can cause perment nerve damage, heart failure, lack of energy, weight loss to slow (because B-1 converts your foods into fuel)!! I am now giving myself shots of B-1 daily for 2 weeks; and B-12 once weekly! I know we all forget our viatmins from time to time; but I am telling you don't let it become a damaging and dangerous habit!! After all we did this to get well and not to cause more problems! Sincerely, Judy R

Thank you Judy for telling us..I have a Calcium deficiency and i am out 6 1/2 months and my Nutrtion doctor (Dr Still) gave me a prescription for Vitamin D and i have to go back for more blood work in 2 months actually my visit was on July 18 so i have to go for more blood work in like 3-4 weeks now.. And i have to take an extra calcium citrate chew so i take 3 calcium chews and the extra vit D capsule which i have to open and put the liquid on my tongue--I do give myself my own B-12 shots monthly as i am anemic and my prime doc insisted that i take enough of B-12 and i am diabetic and i have neuropathy so i do not need any more nerve damage.. I pray that the next blood work comes back better--it is so hard to keep up and i do my best to make sure i remember my things--I pray everyone else does too.. Blessings--SUSIE Smith from PA

Thank you so much for the reminder. We all tend to get hung up on all of the great progress we have made and "forget" or just get lazy there. Thanks.

Just to be clear here... are you folks who are having issues with low levels NOT being completely compliant with your vitamin intake?? Im having my month bloods done this week but im totally compliant and dont want to stress..
