Topic: RE: Got my surgery date today!!
Wow that was fast... it'll be here before ya know it trust me!!!

My first date was 49 days away - I thought it'd never get here but then when it did I was in a state of panic... was almost relieved it got cancelled but the feelings of being pissed off sorta shadowed that LOL!!  Now I'm 3 days away and the panic is setting in but I am SO READY!!!  Maybe panic isn't the right word - more like anxious - there's no doubt that I'm doing the RIGHT thing :-)

We'll have to get together in a few weeks... do you have a gym membership yet? My niece works at Golds and said I should check it out I fear they're all muscleheads!  I go to the Planet Fitness in Franklin (sometimes Milford and Walpole) - if you ever want to check it out I can bring you as my guest... nothing intense, we could just walk.

Thanks so much for the offer Lisa, my hospital offers a post op support group that I plan on attending.. but it's in Boston so I was hoping to find something local that wasn't hospital sponsored to go to as well.

How are you doing since your surgery?

Thanks! Quincy isn't too far.. I'll get more info after my surgery in March!  I'm going to try the one my hospital offers too.

Vitalady's hubby isn't well so she has been backed up on getting back to people. Did you get my email on Jan 2 reviewing your labs and giving links to some of the things that may help you? If not here is a copy

OK - Low protein and albumin mean that you need to up your protein intake - if you're getting 60 grams you need to up it to 80 grams. If your not getting 60 then go up to 60 as a start.

Low Ferritin (its your iron stores) means you need to add in some iron - Vitalady recommends 300 mg of iron per day. http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&k ey=1326X400http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?prea dd=action&key=1326X400

B12 - yup, this needs to come way up. 1000 micrograms per day sublingual
http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&k ey=1043X100

All of the other Bs are very low also so a complete B complex & folic acid will help
http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&k ey=1078X090
http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&k ey=1037X100

D3 - Dry - Vitalady recommends 20000 iu per day (yours is low so this should be good for you)
http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&k ey=1115X100

A, Mag, and Zinc seem very good.

As I am not a doctor or nutritionist you may want to run this info by one but with RNY these should be fine - the other person to check with would be Andrea U on the main board - http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/aullberg/

Good luck and my thoughts are with Ethan and his family
