There has been some discussion about when to take and not take supplements. I now know that Iron and Calcium should not be taken together but did not think about my prescription meds. I happened to notice the other day after getting my thyroid medications that I was not supposed to be taking it with any vitamins or supplements with it  because it would not be absorbed properly. There is a whole list of medications that it is not supposed to be taken with. I have never had the pharmacist or doctors warn me about this and if I had not noticied the bottle I would have taken it with my supplements. I have now started reading all the pamphlets from the pharmacies on all my meds and supplements. It has required some work but I think I am taking meds and supplements the way I need to. I am posting this as a warning to check all your meds and not just your supplements to see if they are compatible or not. My husband has had WLS and I am awaiting mine. We have both had problems with anemia and vitamin defiencies and it is no wonder since we have not been taking our meds appropriately even though we thought we were. 

Nutrition and Emotional Wellness is a part of life, but it doesn't have to drag you down. (you guys are way too serious in here)

Change is a difficult part of life. But things do change right? I've come to learn that life has cycles. Sometimes it is change you want and sometimes it is not. You deal with it either way, and try to do so gracefully.

Here is a small example of change in my life, for more than 20 some odd years I was a parent (well I still am, LOL) with that is a huge responsibility and that was always foremost in my head. Then suddenly that daily responsibilty is lifted. I am now a bench player to be called upon as needed. My role has changed.

So things change, roles change, bottom rail on top now as the saying goes. But my hope is that you never lose your joy. If you have, it is right where you left it.......

Thank you so much for the prayers sweetie, thoughs are definetly needed. Vandy has a wonderful after care program, just as I am sure that others have too. But I 've moved so I was in need of a different dr. for this, so I was able to  contact them at Vandy for their suggestions. Wow it was such a ease of my mind to get a fast response. They are on their toes, for our welfare!!!
