I am going to be asking my surgeon in two weeks. But I just wanted to get an idea. I was anemic before surgery and on supplemental iron pills. Since surgery I have been taking a multi vitamin with iron plus 600 mg liquid daily.

My latest blood work shows not anemic but still low iron. I was just wondering when I may be able to go off the liquid and take pills instead. The liquid tastes terrible and makes me gag, not to mention my insurance doesn't cover it and it is $59 a month.

I'm fresh off my surgery, still in the hospital due to anemia. I will ask my Dr too

I was also anemic pre op. I am now 6 weeks post op. Because I am not eating solids my surgeon will not allow me to take my iron as of right now

Wow, really? Every surgeon is different, I swear! I'm taking 900mg of iron per day

Amazon.com has all sorts of chewables...much more reasonable than regular bariatric websites
