 |  Back from my 3 month checkup (losing hair, iron question)
So, the doctor was not too concerned about my blood work. He told me that everything looked fine and that I need to add iron in my pill regimen or to make sure my vitamin has iron. Well, it does, but obviously it is not enough, so what do I need to do? Everyone has told me how badly iron hurts your pouch - any advice? What can I take?
Also, he was not concerned about the BUN number that was very low. Should I be?
Also, my hair!!! It is lifeless and thinning mercilessly! It looks awful. I totally expected this, I really did. I had no dreams that I would be different than everyone, but it still is disturbing. Someone said they bought biotin shampoo? Is it a Nexxuss line? Do you recommend it? What about the Nioxin Shampoo? Which one is best and who has it the cheapest? Please help...
On another note, he was very pleased. My BMI went from 54 to 42. I have lost 36% of my body weight and he said he expects 30% the first 3 months. My blood pressure was outstanding, and he told me his goal for me was 200. I was like 150! And he was like, "200 comes first." Anyway, just thought I would share this stuff with you. Thanks for all of your support!
And oh yeah! I went to Red Lobster and had the fresh bag made tilapia!! OMG! That was the best stuff I have EVER put in my mouth since surgery! You all have got to try it! I even put a few of the cooked veggies in my mouth! It was so good! It had the best flavor!

No leftovers. My mother in law helped me eat my lunch size portion. LOL! My waitress was very intriqued because I refused the salad, refused the bread, refused a drink.

Has anyone ever had a black bean burger from chilis? Someone suggested that to me. Just thought I would ask.

I take the chewable Iron from bariatric advantage and it used to upset my pouch but now i take it with dinner my last meal and it is working out better for me. also word of advice because i fond out the hard way Iron causes sticky tar like stool so i had to add stool sofeners to my pills also because the constipation was unreal. like go to the hospital.
