I'll soon be 3 months out. Since surgery, I've lost 54.5 pounds. Not to shabby.
I had my first round of blood work done last week, and called Dr Shram to see if he has gotten the results. Nope. Some mix up here from my doctor's office. I had them re-fax the results and before long, Dr Shram's office called me back. Seems I'm low in the iron department. So, today I'm going to pick up a supplement. Hopefully I can take something chewable. I was told by a friend not to use the liquid because it rotted her sister's teeth.
Mind you this woman will soon be 50, and it rotted her sister's baby teeth as well as her adult ones. So who knows, they may have improved the formula so teeth rotting is no longer an issue. I haven't heard anyone else mention they've had this problem. At any rate, I need some form of iron.
I think I'm going to take some new pics in a few days, to update my shrinking body.
