I will be doing the 5 Day Pouch Test to shed a few pounds as well as to make sure my pouch is still working for me. You are more than welcome come along as we fight this. I plan on starting on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am going to vlog my journey on my youtube channel so I am able to show others what I am doing and eating.

Congrats! I'm 9 years out - kept most of weight off, but having some recent health problems that might be due to die. Can I ask you what you eat and what you dont?
I was diagnosed with Iron Deficient anemia! Literally felt like the walking dead. Exhausted all of the time. Had iron infusion and much better. Get my blood monitored everything three months - but with this new doctor, it's been a year since my infusion (Ferate) and that is now under control...
At 3 years Post op I was feeling like that. My doc run the tests and all very normal. But the normal were not enough for me.
I.e my B12 was too low for me. I feel best when mutt B12 is higher than 800.
Iron - specially ferritin - anything under 30 is too low for me.
Proteins-low normal was notthat great.
Add low D, and you get the picture.
So what are your numbers?
B12
D
Protein
Ferritin
B1?

Blood pressure and blood sugar are fine. TSH is good. No nausea or diarrhea. I have had a 170 pound weight loss.
I make sure I eat or drink things that aide in to reducing stone issues. I drink a daily mix of lime juice and water, and no sweetener.... a bit hard core but I worked up to 2 tablespoons per liter of water, and sometimes I add frozen lime juice cubes to water. Seen the ultra sound on my gall bladder = clean and no gravel, plus blood test shows kidneys ok too. That's just me.
Checking: Blood sugars, blood pressure, and hormone levels? I take Celebrate vitamins because I like the taste. I tried Bariatric Advantage, and they are good too but the others are like a candy treat to me. I do chewable vitamins since 2013.
I am three yes out from a RNY and for the past six months I have been having moderate to severe fatigue. I have had my nutritional levels done twice and they were all normal except for once (when I was very fatigued) my iron was slightly low...not even enough to concern my surgeon. I am starting to read that a lot of people say they feel better when their levels are towards the higher end of normal. I take barateia advantage vitamins.
2 ultra multis
90 MG iron
B12
B1
1200 MG calcium
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
