  1. Hang in there! You'll get real food before you know it... I've started my 2 week liquid diet 2x now before my insurance cancels the surgery. Gah...

    thank you love. I was only on a 2day liquid diet pre-op. it was hard but I made it thru.

    whats going on with your insurance?


  2. I had a low iron level before surgery, and now at 15 1/2 weeks post op I'm anemic. It's hard to go through each day feeling so damn tired and sluggish, but keep taking your iron supplements and try to make food choices rich in minerals. Vitamin C is supposed to help the body better absorb iron, so you may want to ask the doctor about combining the two. I take a prescription supplement called FeRiva, which is Iron, Biotin, Vitamin C, and Folic acid in one, and time released. Maybe something like that could help you. Anyway, best of luck with everything - you can get through this! :)

    Oh, and on another note...are those your little girls in the picture? They are sooo GORGEOUS!!!!

    Thank you darling! I will ask her for the FeRiva and see if it works for me. It does suck to be sleepy and tired everyday.

    Yes those are my girls .. Thank you so much!!


  3. Good luck. I wish my cardiologist would give me the all clear. All though my EKG, Echo and Stress came back normal, he's pushing for more heart test... I believe it is to get more money out of the insurance company because I don't have to get pre-certifications and they pay for pretty much everything and anything without pre-approvals.

    I think the doc is trying to make money and holding me up in the process.

    I will give him until the end of next week and then I'm going to flip my lid....

    That sucks. I had to do EKG, Echo and Stress test. all came negative. So my doctor cleared me. I hope everything turns out good for you dear.
