Frustrated with Iron Deficiency Anemia Situation - Any Positive Experience?
Yes. I had 5 iron infusions. I did not start feeling better for several weeks. I was also taking 3 iron pills a day. Just be patient. It will get better

Loss of Motivation
I am about 9 months out too. You have to look at old pictures. Remind yourself how bad you felt before. It's easy to get back into old habits. Go back on shakes for a week. Give yourself a reset. I went and tried on clothes I still want to wear but can't quit fit into yet. It does help. I also think about all the crap I had to do to have this surgery in the first place. I am determined to not gain back that weight

Struggling with no carbs
My NUT said to add back in carbs. Best decision I ever made. I have about 100 grams a day and losing steadily. Carbs are not the enemy of chose the right ones.

Strange Info from NUT re: Carbs
I just saw My NUT. And she said not to worry about carbs. She said calorie count was the main indicator. I am usually between 70 and 90 now. I am losing well. I actually just added back in some good carbs and I feel good

CPAP Machine. I have no love for it.
Yeah I feel your pain.I hate mine. The only days I have used it was when I was forced to in the hospital right after surgery. I. Tried right after surgery and it caused me pain in my chest so I quit and haven't used it since. I realize this isn't good but it's just my reality
