Stall at 5 months. Iron infusion making me retain water?

I stalled for nearly a month at 201. It does that on purpose. I am convinced.

Stalls are very frustrating! Keep on plan and it will start moving for you again.

I was so dangerously low in Iron and Ferritin that I had 4 infusions of heme iron, except for mild constipation (Dulcolax stool softener is your FRIEND) you will not gain any weight. My Iron and Ferritin was between 1-3 for nearly a year. It caused severe seizures and other problems.

Graham Crackers and peanut butter are something best avoided. Crackers are empty calories (Weight gain) and peanut butter has a lot of fat for the small amount of protein it has. Throw all crackers out and wat almond butter or PB2.

Me at 7 years Post Op. YOU too can do it. I was 300+ pre-op in 2010.

Warmly,
