The Scale: so far holding steady (phew)
The sugary drinks: I had coffee but only one small one and I am chasing each one with a large water and iron pill.
The food: Eating a lot more but mostly making healthy decisions: 1 chicken tamale for lunch, 1 big for me serving of taco salad for dinner. 2-3 cups of kettle corn at the farmers market!!
The stomach issues are still here but were better yesterday. Perhaps things are healing? Definitely a pain in my side whenever I eat and shoulder pain after.
I got a phone call from the lab on Saturday morning. My iron tests were in and they are down to 6 (apparently that is red flag call the patient worthy on a Saturday).
The only real symptoms of the anemia I have is tired-took naps on both Saturday and Sunday and occasional dizzy when I get up too fast and climb stairs. I did read something that said anemia can cause intestinal issues? Perhaps it is one culprit after all.
I am calling the gyno today. After a weekend think and discussion with hubby we have decided to try an IUD with progesterone 1. to see if it works and 2. to try and give me a break and bring the iron up before a hysterectomy surgery.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.
