6 months post-op blood work results

[pinksjo1 137]

Hi -

Got my call from the nurse today. I will need to have another blood draw as my copper levels are low. My zinc levels are too high - so she told me not to take my multi for 2 weeks. I take the Bariatric Advantage multi.

My Protein levels are a little low so I need to track my protein so I am sure to get the right amount of grams.

So, back to the hospital to get blood drawn again...

Oh, almost forgot. The dr said that I should set my goal weight at 180 lbs. And I can use the big bone excuse as she said its true in my case! YEAH!

Interesting. Did she give a possible reason for having low copper? Is the BA multi not enough? That's what I have. I'm getting sleeved on 2/13.

I just got back to work after having another blood test. Since this is a re-test, I haven't been told anything about why my copper level is low. I guess if this test comes back low, they will tell me something. I'll keep you posted.

Just got a call from the hospital, my copper levels are showing normal. So, I have 1 more week of not taking my BA Multi and I have to go back to get blood work in 3 mos to check levels.
