Pale Skin????



Recommended Posts

So I've always had a medium toned skin and in the summer oh yes I'm dark. I never burn if that can give you a clue. I luv to lay out at the pool and so on. Why is it that the past month or so everyone is asking if I'm ok and feeling alright? Everyone including my mom is extremely worried because to them I look pale. I have noticed I am alot lighter then I'm accustom to Could it be that I'm lacking a certain Vitamin? ? I go for blood work on my 3mth check up. Any idea what it could be???

Do you take Iron? I am 3 months before the surgery and my doctors assistance called me and told me that I needed to take an Iron suppliment,do you thing that this is your case,vitiman d3 plays a big part in your complexion and also

there is several vitimans that is required after surgery,I know Calcium,Multivitamins,b6 for hormonal change and B12, please check with your nutritionist and see if there is something you are lacking...maybe you are not getting your Protein,,,camille01

Probably anemia; likely due to Iron or B12 deficiency.

Well Feb 8th I will get to the bottom of this. I used to have low Iron before the surgery but was able to fix that with Vitamins. I'm taking the liquid B-12 (NASTY as all get out), Centrum chewables and my Calcium with Vitamin d. Doing what I'm told to but maybe its just because my body knows it's been 80 degrees outside and I refuse to get in a pool again till my skin tighten, lol. Well I am going back to the tanning salon next week as a treat to myself for the weight loss. hee hee biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifwink.gifwink.gif

Leslie, you have to get the B12 that disolved under your tongue. . .they are great. Small little tablet that tastes like cherry and is gone in a second. I think Steve got them at Henry's Market or Trader Joes.

Really the liquid is soooo gross. I do a lil dance till the 30 seconds r up then I grab my Vitamin Water to wash it down. Then the ugly face comes out and Jesse sits and says, "babe is it really that bad?" ummm yup. Needless to say he wont taste it, lol. I'm gonna have to try Henry's or Trader Joes because Walmart and Walgreens only had the liquid.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
