153.2 - no clue why the big jump, but not going to fret.

I added cereal to my diet this morning. I miss it terribly (and my body does too LOL). I found something made by Barbara's with 14 fiber in a cup and am using Mootopia milk. It was SO good and my stomach is thanking me :) I'm NOT buying Frosted Flakes, back in the day, I could finish half a box. LOL! It's a lot of carbs, but I'm going to feel it out and see if I can make it work. If not, I can always change :)

153.6 - pain meds and emotional eating

Pickling today.

You all have a wonderful day!

104.3 lbs today.

Battling Anemia again...so tired of that

Heather

Hi 

im battling anemia also and they have checked my insides, like upper GI and colonoscopy trying to see were im bleeding from or why im anemic why are you anemic if you don't mind me asking? Is it something that is common with vsg?

If so,what do you do to make you feel better and stuff?

Hi Lisa,

I think Anemia is quite common after any WL surgery, because your ability to eat the kinds of foods that supply a lot of iron are diminished (red meat, spinach, etc). I have a cronic type of anemia that existed before my surgery. I take iron injections 3x a week for 2 months, twice a year, in conjuction with B-12 and vitamin C supplements. My ferritin is a 3, which is about as bad as it gets without having a blood transfusion. I am able to get my numbers up with the IM injections though.

Good Luck,

Heather
