I am about 1.5 years post op. Went to the doctor for a 1.5 year follow up and my blood work was done and came back with a diagnosis of anemia. All of my labs have been fine until now. My doctor recommend that I take another iron supplement (I already take 2 a day), so I am trying to come up with foods/ways to increase my iron without taking another pill. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

When I was a teenager I was anemic and anorexic. Down the street was a Mexican neighbor, and twice a week she would mince up some calves liver and make me tacos or tostadas with the liver mixed up in her usual ingredients. That beat having to take B12 shots.

She was so good to me. She loaned me her double satin wedding dress made in Mexico City when I got married at 19 years old.
