My Iron level is very low. Just found out today. I'm taking Bariatric Advantage chewable but it seems that is not enough & they are thinking of giving me a prescription for a special kind of iron. I worked in the pharmacy business so this is not good news. I bought some broccoli tomorrow I want to make broccoli with cheese.

Does anyone know anything I can cook that has iron? I can eat steak and I stock my fridge with steak today. I want to have different meals. I was told to continue taking my Vitamins iron and Calcium.< /p>

To boost the amount of Iron in your diet, try these foods:

Red meat

Egg yolks

Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards)

Dried fruit (prunes, raisins)

Iron-enriched cereals and grains (check the labels)

Mollusks (oysters, clams, scallops)

Turkey or chicken giblets

Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans

Liver

Artichokes

I eat spinach a lot and it goes down well and does not make me sick. I sautee it in a pan with lil olive oil, garlic and can't believe it's not butter. I can almost eat it as a meal.

I'm gonna have to try it. I had a little broccoli with cheese today. It was yummy but I could fit much. I'm hooked on crystal light iced tea.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
