I had Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass in 03. I have able to sustain my weight loss, but having problems with anemia. I went last week and had 3 iron infusions. I was told it would take 4 to six weeks for me to really notice a change. I have other health issues and take 15 mgs of warfarin dailey. Now I am starting develop painful leg cramps both during the day and night. I am constantly tired and my joints ache. I also had a hystrecomy in Nov ,so I have now been thrown into surgical menopause. I have read about low levels of potassuim and magnesium causing some of these symptoms. I take a daily mulitamin/multi mineral supplement daily. I also take FE C Plus Iron tablets daily. Any suggestions on what changes I need to make in my diet . For the last several weeks my ice craving have been so bad I have not eaten very much as the ice would fill me up; but lately they seem to be improving.
