3 months post op for me and glad i had it done because i am anemic and vitamins B1,A and D were also very low. After a round of 3 - weekly vitamin B1 shots and lots of vitamins i am due to get my blood work done again this week. I will probably go in saturday morning to get my blood drawn.

yay! Congrats!

I was very thin from childhood up until my pregnancies. I managed to lose all my pregnancy weight and was happy with my weight for years. About 7 years ago the scale started to inch up. every year i was gaining an average of 8-10 lbs. Gained about 70-75 lbs in those 7 years. I managed to tip the scale at my highest weight of 228 in Feb of 2012. I had to do a 6 month supervised diet were i lost 25 lbs and had surgery on 1/9/13. I am currently 158 lbs and losing an average of 2 lbs a week.

I commend you for taking your life back and moving on! I am interested in the rest of your story!

nope mine was out before i woke up.

I too am 4 months post op and had blood work done 2 weeks ago. Got my results back last week and it turns out that i am anemic. MY Vitamins B1 and A were also very low. B12 was high. At least this explained why i had no umph and always wanted to be in bed. Still feeling pretty drained but hopefully with all the new vitamins and b1 shots i will get my energy back soon. Hoe you feel better soon!

time to change things up! Up your calories and your protien and your stall will break. There are probably thousands of threads about stalls at different stages of post op. You are not alone.

Try using a warm heating pad and just place it on your chest, shoulder, tummy! It really helps!
