funny I'll tell you what I can't eat: egg salad, omgh Ive never been in so much pain in my life!!! Left overs - I still can not touch them!! I get sick every time!! Breads, bagels, rice, and french fries - sick every time (and I've tried the dumb fries way too many times) But I do eat oatmeal every morning, drink 1 - 2 protein drinks per day. I'm still pretty much a protein person. Although this week I caved into b1g1free chocolate chip cookies... darn it all!!! I'm holding my weight just fine still. 128 (actually drift between 126 - 130) So I'm thrilled with that. Time is going right by!!! Wow, pretty soon it'll be 2 years. Laurie

Hello Heather, About 1 month ago I had my bloodwork done, (I had it done 3 months previous) and my results were dramatically different. I showed major changes - in iron. I am now anemic, my vitamin D dropped considerably to. I was also having female troubles - way to many periods in a month (more period than not). In addition to my daily vitamin regimen, my Dr. put me on iron pills, twice daily, and vitamin d once a day. She put me on a progesterone pill for ten days to stop the period. I had an endometrial biopsy done, and luckily the results came back normal. My period stopped while I was on the pill, but as soon as the ten days was over, I got another period. I am currently waiting to see if this will be a normal one, if not, will be back at the doctor's office. I too, thought maybe it was early premature menopause. I am 42.

Heather - I had an iron infusion back in November 06. I was very anemic. The bottom line is that I just don't absorb iron from supplements. I just went back for another check this week and I'm the lowest number in the normal range, so basically in a couple more weeks i'll be anemic again!! DRATS there's an iron infusion in my future!!! Best of wishes for you!!! laurie
