Topic: RE: CARMEL CHEESECAKE SQUARES

Hi Nan,

Hope all is well with you, as Donna said, it's nice to see an "oldtime regular" posting, hope you'll come back more frequently, we've all got busy lives thanks to our surgery and the ability to live life.

Thanks for the recipe. . . you always were great with finding foods to fill and satisfy. This sounds delightful, I'm wondering about adding some protein powder for a little bonus. . .

Be well, Laureen

Topic: RE: Vitamin D and A deficiency

Hi Laura,

I have not had the same type of surgery and know that yours is one with more possible deficiencies. I would google the sun lamp, maybe try Amazon, as they always have great prices and lots of reviews on products so you can get an idea of what is good and what is not. As for the vitamin A, I'd say do some research on foods that are high in it and/or maybe see if you can find a liquid supplement, as liquid supplements are more quickly and better absorbed by those of us who have had any of the mal-absorption surgical procedures.

I wish you well and hope you find the answers you need.

Topic: Vitamin D and A deficiency

I am 4 years post op (bPD-DS) and have severely low A and D. My endocrinologist recommended a vitamin d sun lamp but I have no idea what to get, there are so many options. Has anyone gotten one to help that they would recommend?

Also, any suggestions for boosting the vitamin A?

Thanks!
Laura

Congratulations. I remember how excited I was when I finally got my date for surgery. As the date gets closer you may have a little anxiety so remember that you can come here and just vent if need be. This board has helped me a lot over these last 4 years. There are some great people here so feel free to pop on by. Take care.

Nan,

Thanks for the recipe. It's nice to see you on the OH board again. Hope that all is going well with you. I miss seeing a lot of the more senior members of the PA board - you guys gave me a great deal of hope and answered a lot of my questions back 4 years ago. Now I am trying to pay it forward but I still miss the "regulars" who were on the board. Take care of yourself.

Donna
