Six month follow up appointment- Fun Facts!
Hey-
I just had my six month follow up appointment with the surgeon-- Okay so I am a month late 
First of all, does everyone know there is a new iron pill out?-- Niferex gold is 300 mg a pill (so only 1 pill daily) and is made with a natural stool softener (less constipation- I know TMI). Just though I should let you know. I got the prescription today.
My surgeon was all smiley and happy (he's a reserved type of guy normally). 
And here I was worried because I seem to be a slower loser. Evidently 73 pounds (from surgery- 80 according to me) is perfectly fine-- So I panicked over nothing. He did let me know that after another 5 months, it is going to be VERY hard to lose weight.
Nutritionist tip-- I confessed my sins (Chocolate) to her-- And she suggested if I have to have a piece eat it immediately after a meal, so you don't go crazy and snarf out-- You'll only have room for one piece. Thought that was good.
Everything was good except I need to add another Calcium supplement to the diet (that makes 3 doses a day). Other than that I am ready to go 
.
Cheers y'all

Good to hear! 
I don't have to bac****il my one year date. Only needed to have blood work done last month, which I did and it came back fine. You know what I did for my very very VERY low iron (I am a bit anemic) I started taking a regular multiple vitamin with iron in it, and I am only taking it once a day. Must have helped, my iron went from 28 up to 61. I have started to take Viactive for my low calcium...I used to drink more milk and got it in that way...but boy have I been bad about milk lately. Will see how blood work is at my 9-month testing.
