RNY  6 Years 4 Months Post Op

Morning

Appointment this morning with my pcp to review my recent labs re iron.  I switched from Feramax - which I was not absorbing - to a heme iron ( Proferrin) and I am hoping to see the numbers improving

STEPS- over 10,000 each of the past 6 days while north

EATS

B - 2 large mugs of coffee

    Premier protein shake

S - hard boiled egg

L - large shrimp ****tail.  Likely 6-7 jumbo shrimp with 1/4 cup of seafood sauce

D - 5 oz grilled chicken

    1 cup of tomato/pepper/vidalia onion and feta salad

S - Jello s/f pudding with squirt of cool whip

MYFITNESSPAL totals for the above menu are:  Calories - 853,  Carbs - 68 Grams,  Fat - 17 Grams,  Protein - 97 Grams

Calories are low today as I indulged while on vacation

All water and vits.   More decaf coffee

Have a great one  

I'll be interested to hear your iron results as I recently switched back to Proferrin as well. Which reminds me that I need to do some follow-up blood work too. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day/days in the week. lol

Hi Karen

My iron went from 18 to 29 in the three months I have been on Proferrin.   I knew right away it was better for me as I could "see" I was absorbing it

Leona always pushed Feramax.  Didnt work for me

Good Morning all!  I am finding I do much better when I do plan my meals ahead of time.  Planning in MFP is great, you can tweak the numbers to get what you want.  I am still having some trouble getting my protein up, and keeping the calorie count low.  Once I can get more active I won't mind the calories going up a bit.  I like to stay around 600.  That is not including the milk I have in my decaf coffee several times a day.  I don't log it.  

B- 2 hard boiled eggs

L- chicken salad made with 1tbsp calorie wise miracle whip, some red pepper, green onion, in 3 small romaine boats

D- half cup cauliflower, 3oz chicken, 1 tbsp walden farms cranberry sauce

S- syntrax fuzzy naval shake, some celery sticks with 2 laughing cow wedges

myfitnesspal totals:  calories 585, carbs 13, fat 20, protein 75.

Bye for now  

Just where do you buy your Syntrax shakes? I can't find them in the GTA. Your menu looks good. 

I order them online from the Low Carb Grocery in Markham.  I have been ordering from them for years.  Atkins days 

Here is the link

I have a hard time making links, so you may have to copy and paste.  I will get it figured out one day  

Thanks. Yup I am familiar with LCG, they were a staple during my terrible Dr Bernstein diet era. 

I just ordered some from FitShop, free shipping and came within 48 hours.

Good morning Zizzler. It is hard to face a toxic work environment everyday. Hope it improves. My knee is better today. I hate icing anything but I do admit it did the most good.

In to work early this morning. Nothing special planned except cleaning my kitchen tonight which is a mess. I couldn't stand last night for long and my DH didn't feel like doing dishes so only the dish washer was run. So tonight I clean up.
