Hi everyone who is having surgery in October 2014. We can start a new topic for those of us who have had surgery already.

This is the spot were we will all end up, were we'll share our stories and recovery. It will be a new dawn for so many of us. Let's stay close as united we will conquer anything that comes our way!

BEST WISHES GLADIATORS

So I just left the hematologist. I had my 3 month bloods a couple weeks ago and it came back that my iron is low, of course cuz it always is. He didn't want to start on the intravenous iron yet, he wants me to try 1 pill a day and see how I can tolerate that. We also discussed b12 shots in the future, he says that taking b12 orally is pointless because our stomachs don't have the binders that it needs to hang onto and transport the b12....and I didn't realize how sick you can get if you are seriously b12 deficient! Kind of scary!

So does anyone else feel like they can eat more than we should be able to?? I'm getting nervous cuz I'm not getting full when I should be I can easily eat a half cup and still be hungry!

I sometimes can eat a whole cup :-/

Friday meal plan

B- Premier Protein shake chocolate 11oz

S- none

L- machaca meat 2 oz

S- yoplait greek Apple pie

D- 2oz hamburger patty fat burger with mustard

15 week after RNY GBS

I went to the surgeon on Thursday and he is very pleased with my labs. Makes me happy!

I have to take my B12 supplements every other day now instead of every day and other than that, he thinks everything else is fine. I still have some concerns about a couple of the markers and will follow up with my regular doc and possibly an endocrinologist. Just want to be sure! Oh...and my cholesterol is better than its ever been! I am sticking with strict Paleo and I'm really happy with my results.

Anyone else get your labs yet?

When I went to my 3 month, the PA said that they don't do labs until 6 months. As much as I hate having blood drawn, I was looking forward to hearing about my levels. Still curious.

Yes, B12 deficiency is serious stuff.

Me too!!! I mean it depends what I eat, but some things I can just keep eating

I sometimes can eat a whole cup :-/

I have noticed that I can eat more soup or salad than other things. Any beef sits like a ton of bricks so usually just a couple bites of that.

Well I tested my pounch really well this weekend. Last night I ate 1/2 hamburger bun and all. And a handfull of fries. No problems. Today I ate a few Cookies and cupcake for my grandson's birthday, no problem! Now mind you I do not intent to eat like this except for rarely. Not sure that I like the fact I have no restriction and don't seem to dump!

Not sure why I double post! And can't delete it, it makes me put some sort of a post in here. So do any of you NOT dump?
