Off toa Good Start

So I am doing better.  I am definately getting my water in.  I am still short of my 108 grams of protein by food only, so I am supplementing with ProteinSlam 27.  I really hate the tingle feeling I have with it, but it is the only protein I have found that I can actually keep down.  I am going to try ProSlam 45 when I am out of the 27.  I heard it taste the same, but lot more protein.  I haven't weighed myself, because the scale is not going to rule my life.  As long as my size 16's fit I am happy.

Now for the most important that I have negelected since having the twins.  I have not been to a doctor to get my blood work done.  I have to say that I am so happy that before I left New Mexico that I went to my Doc and asked for my WLS records.  My Doc here has no clue what blood work I need done.  I did fine a lab work request and it has the following tests that my GP Doc always asked for:
    - CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) - this consists of 14 different tests.  Two for sugars, two for proteins, four for electrolytes, two for kidneys and four for the liver.
    - Ferritin - looks at Iron levels and proteins
    - Serum Iron - Iron
    - TIBC (Total Iron Blood Count) - Iron
    - Vitamin B-12 - B-12 helps with DNA synthesis, repairs the brain and nervous systems.  Deficiency can cause ftique, depression, and poor memory.
    - Serum Folate - This is a B-9/Folic Acid.  It helps produce healthy red blood cells and helps prevent anemia.
    - CBC w/Diff (Complete Blood Count) - This is a complete blood count of red and white blood cells and platelets.  A good count help prevent infections and diseases.
    - Albumin - I am not really sure.  All I do know is that if your to high it is usually caused by dehydration.  If you are too low then it can cause liver disease.
Now these next two test I have to get done because I have had pancreatitist.
    - Amylase - Is an enzyme that breaks down starch to sugar.  Pancreas makes Amylase.  It helps make and break down complex sugars.  To much could cause acute inflammation of the pancreas.
    - Lipase - Performs essential roles in the digestion, transport and processing of dietary lipids such as triglycerides, fats and oils that the pancreas has to process.

Ok so I have a call into my doc to get the blood work done and to get a referral to be seen a GP Doc since it is time.
