Had my one year jabs done and my Iron is low. The supplements cause me to be horribly constipated. Anybody have any suggestions on how to boost iron a different way?

What multi Vitamin are you taking? Does it contain iron?

It does but only 140 mcg. Maybe I need a new Multivitamin?

Heres a thought. I have been using essential oils from Young living lately for a multitude if things.

I would never ingest any other oils besides young living.

My clinic strongly encourages Flinstones Complete chewables. I just looked at it has 18 mg of Iron. Not exactly sure how that compares to yours though. Didn't you clinic have any ideas other than supplements?

Im not sure if i mentioned this before but if i didnt i have been remise.

2 words- Savory oatmeal

Look up the recipes!!! Seriously its way healthy and a great quick meal you can cook at the beginning of the week. oatmeal is no longer just for Breakfast.

here is the one i have done twice and been very very hapy with

Irish steel cut oatmeal

onions

whole cut mushrooms

soy based bacon bits

olive oil

low sodium soy

sage

rosemary

garlic

salt to taste ( least bit possible)

pepper

Cook oatmeal seperate and use a butt load of onions and mushrooms saute the mess together and add to oatmeal as the last step.

You can cut up chicken fish or turkey into it. i like mine cold but you can work out the serving temp on your own

Look up other recipies they are wide and vast. next week im doing an asian oatmeal and following that a middle eastern one.

low cal, low fat,full of Fiber and filling..with chicken or fish you get the added protien

Peace out skinny people

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
