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.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
