Frustrated with Iron Deficiency Anemia Situation - Any Positive Experience?
Soapandcandlequeen replied to livvsmum's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes. I had 5 iron infusions. I did not start feeling better for several weeks. I was also taking 3 iron pills a day. Just be patient. It will get better -
I am about 9 months out too. You have to look at old pictures. Remind yourself how bad you felt before. It's easy to get back into old habits. Go back on shakes for a week. Give yourself a reset. I went and tried on clothes I still want to wear but can't quit fit into yet. It does help. I also think about all the crap I had to do to have this surgery in the first place. I am determined to not gain back that weight

Strange Info from NUT re: Carbs
Soapandcandlequeen replied to MarceMonster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I just saw My NUT. And she said not to worry about carbs. She said calorie count was the main indicator. I am usually between 70 and 90 now. I am losing well. I actually just added back in some good carbs and I feel good -
