wow, I thought I was alone.  Im 22 weeks with twins. Labs are bad.  Not absorbing iron so now Im on weekly infusions, albumin is bad which means Im starving but all I do is eat and Im tired of protein.  Im gaining weight slowly but I dont look sick or too skinny.  My OB has no idea how to deal with me because of my RNY 2.5 years ago.  If there was only MD's who would learn about this so we could be properly taken care of in all situations.  Im tired of being a test dummy at my own hospital that I work at.  My labs are drawn every 2 weeks then I get lectured about me either starving myself (which is sooo far from the truth) or not doing what I'm supposed to.

I'm not a doc, and don't pretend to be, but if you'd like me to give you some suggestions from my experience, I'd be happy to.

PM me and I'll look them over.

I'm working today and tomorrow during the day, but have the evenings mostly free.
