    Year and half post surgery

    Thank you for your comments. Yes I'm still taking all my vitamins as well as the injections. Seems like oral intake isn't working but I'll continue to take them. My Drs are doing all they can. Have a follow up with oncologist on Monday, and with Radiation Oncologist on Tuesday. Will get more input on how to proceed. I'm not giving up! Keep plugging along until I reach my goals!
  2. Its been a struggle, but would do it again. I'm having some nutritional problems. I've only lost about 100 lbs and still have 100 to go and at a standstill. I'm severely malnourished, deficient in iron even after 8 weeks of weekly iron injections. Deficient in all B vitamins, monthly B12 injections now. Magnesium, vitamin D, ect..... as you can see, my body isn't absorbing the vitamins and minerals needed. I'm always very tired, which cuts down on my activity. Completed 37 rounds of radiation for cancer a couple months ago, caring for my mom who just had open heart surgery. Extremely stressed to say the least, Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I really need to get back on track, I need to lose this last 100 lbs and correct all these deficiencies. Please help!
