Iron level update

Hi guys. Got my labs back today. All my levels are up from 6 weeks ago and they want me to continue doing what Im doing. So here is my huge commercial for Vitalady and her tender iron. Im taking it and its definately working and I wont need to go on IV iron at this point. If any of you are having trouble with your iron, give hers a try. It has helped for a bunch of people and I am now one of em. Thanks Vitalady!!!!!

Not supposed to be posting here for another 22 pounds and/or 3 months, but I couldn't help myself!  Here, here!  Way to go!!!  My iron tripled after 3 months on Tender Iron!

Short timers are always welcome too...Anyone who says otherwise, isn't welcome..LOL. Just kidding.

YAY GIRL!!!! Another one escapes iron infusions!  I am sooooo happy for you and me both!  The only thing I liked about being anemic is the idea I might consider myself a vampire!  LOL  Otherwise IT SUCKED (no pun intended)  LOL Vitalady's Tender Iron saved me too!  Big Hugs!  

Woo Hoo for you. That's fantastic!

Pleas tell us what dosage of Tender Iron are you taking.  Are you taking extra vit C? Patricia 262/125/139 hi/lo/today 3/2005   RNY

I take 12 of the tender iron with a vitamin C (500 mg) and a copper.

thanks for the reply.  Do you take them all at once or spread them out.?  why do you take the copper?  Patricia

I take them all at once. According to alot of wls literature, we tend to be copper difficent as well. Vitalady suggested the copper (which I planned on taking anyway) but she has noticed her iron levels get really high. She is thinking that the copper may super charge the iron to some extent. We shall see if that happens with me, if not no biggie because it is a mineral that wls living suggests for us. Hope this helps.

and how much copper are you taking, if I may ask.  I am taking the tender iron but haven't worked up to 12 yet.  I'm worried about the constipation issue. And you take the copper with the Vit C and the Iron? And how much Vit. C?
