Help! I have had to have a couple of Iron Infusions a month or so ago, The doctor and nut want me to take Iron supplements again. I tried Gentlesorb (GNC) for the first week it was going ok, taking them every other day to get used to them. But then I started to have the same stomach issues. Pain and nausea. I've tried at least 18 different brands of Iron and now trying a chewable version I received from the Bariatric Pal Store. If cannot get enough Iron in my system it looks like I'll have more infusions. I eat plenty of foods with Iron in them, but I just can't get enough!

Do you eat black Beans?

yes I do, I eat Beans, Kale chips, Spinach and red meats, I've always had anemia but since the surgery it got worse. My hemoglobin was down to 25, after the infusions it was 52. I couldn't tell the difference in how I felt.. I felt fine with low count, I was usually at 35.

I just made myself some beans from scratch. Soaking 'em, fussing over 'em, the works. M mmmm good.

In my bean research I discovered that black beans have a high RDA of Iron than other types of beans, 25% vs 15%.

Would this help?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
