No change on the scale this week.
Many people don't realize the true Irish head for the countryside on St Paddy's day, while all the obnoxious Americans and Europeans take over the pubs in Dublin for the day. For my part, I ate a bunch of corned beef and cabbage but steered clear of the guinness.
Happy St. Patty's Day! Today everyone is Irish and by some miracle the same people are Mexican on Cinco de Mayo!

Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
+3lbs this week.
Exercise good, eating ok, sleeping is poor. It all starts with sleeping but somehow I still never get enough.
My iron has been fine. It's the ferritin that is low.
Good deal getting to go back to make a little scratch, Getting back up early will be what kills me if and when I go back to work.

Two days ago it was in the 60's. Snow thi morning. Tousday it's supposed to be 60 again. This will be life in North East Ohio for the next month and a half.
Looks like I will be going back to work a few days a week as needed. A little extra cash is always fine. A contractor boss (I was a civil servnt) called and asked if I could help out. He said it is hard to find people who want to work and pass a pee test :-) So, I'll give it a shot. I've only been retired a little over two months, but I sure am enjoying it.
My iron spiked a little in 2022, so my Dr. said to eliminate the additional iron in my daily vitamins. They have been in normal range for the last two checks. FYI, I use ProCare Health one a day bariatric multivitamins.
Edit: I just looked up Ferritin, and it's not the same as iron.
Good week to all!

Yesterday was opening day of "yard season" for this year. Little airish and I did not do as good of a job on smoothing out the wild pig damage as I thought I did. Little rough to mow over still.
Wife says I've got restless legs and ran me into the den midweek. Ferritin, checked last week, was 24. Bottom on the endocrinologists scale is 10 so she says it's fine. She knows I'm WLS patient. I'm thinking it's time to chase second opinion. Taking iron daily but constantly feel like chopped refried dog dookie.

I have these exact symptoms. I have tried researching other solutions, but have not had any luck or resolution. In fact, I have found very little info on this topic.
I, too, cannot even drink water for around 24 hours. I get very dehydrated as a result.
Has anyone found a solution or workaround for this??

BTW...my lap band was approximately 18 years ago. I was 300 at inception and now maintain 180-185.
Not that I've got a dog in the hunt this year but since wifey has me watching more college sports, basketball/baseball, getting more attuned to it.
