Got just diagnosed with iron deficiency. So it's high dose supplements for a few weeks and another blood work. Plus testing for occult bleeding to make sure it's really a nutritional issue (most likely the cause - after all bariatric surgery is now regularly listed as a possible cause and given the fact that iron absorption occurs in the duodenum and upper jejunum...).

  Don't worry after my gastric bypass I too was diagnosed with iron deficiency and Vitamin D deficiency as well. My doctor monitors my blood levels and added iron supplements and vitamin D supplement to my vitamin regime. Good Luck

My current wish: to get over this mild abdominal pain, get over my fear of disliking all protein drinks, getting in my fluids and get on with this weight loss journey!

  Me too... I've given up on the protein shakes I'm trying to get all the protein from my food.
