How can a WLS be iron deficient with all the meat we eat now?

Hi All! I see that it can happen by reading some of the posts but I would like to avoid any iron deficiency problems in the future by understanding how it can happen and not have to wait until my 6month bloodwork to find out that I'm deficient.I am 7weeks post-op and I've been taking my vitamins and supplements faithfully everyday and drinking my water but am still feeling tired during the day and DEAD TIRED at night. I wonder if this is the beginnings of iron deficiency for me? It never occurred to me before because of all the meat I eat. Thanks ahead for any help!! Connie
