Ugh cutting back on the iron tonight.  I added 2 x 60mg Tender iron to my liquid ferrous furmarate and I've been feeling bad for the last couple of days.  It took me a while to figure as I was looking at food as the culprit, but I think it's the iron.  I'll cut back to one and see how I do.  If not I may have to start taking some probiotics (I know they upset some people, so have them in the cupboard in case the need arises).

I see my consultant next month and I'll mention infusions, not that I think I'll get them 'til my levels drop more!! :-S

 

B Creamcheese pancakes	30
S Cheese	20

Some folks and Tender iron just don't agree no matter what they try. I hope cutting back work for you.

Question

i see you guys eat popcorn. Is their a particular brand or just any? I was thinking popcorn would have a lot of carbs.

 

I didn't touch popcorn until I was at goal. My popcorn is Pop Secret, Theater Butter, snack size, microwave. 

 

I haven't lost anything these past 2 weeks... ugh. Could be my TOM or could be that I'm just a slooooow loser forever with or without the malabsorption... Should I cut back on one of my snacks? I just get hungry every 2-3 hours. Advice?

Bites:
B - 4 egg whites
S - Fage Greek yogurt w/blueberries and slivered almonds
L - 4 oz salmon w/mayo; salad w/yogurt dressing; 2 carrots
S - Bacon
D - Date night with Hubs... TBD
S - Maybe...

Vites: Yep Cites: nope

I think your Bites are fine. Are you walking or anything?

 

I usually jump on my elliptical 3 times a week. I think I need to get back to the gym - it's so hard to remotivate!

Believe me, I know. I want to get back to my daily walking too.
