I went to the doctor today to post-bariatric surgery clinic. What an eyeopener... I had surgery 5 years ago and have never been seen in this clinic. It seems that I was inbetween their old and new systems and just kinda missed something. Anyway, I had a bunch of bloodwork done in early August and it came back that I am anemic and have very low calcium and vitamin d. I learned today that calicum is what is responsible for your heart contracting... it's not just strong bones and teeth! I am actually at risk of a heart attack if I let this continue!! That is scary! I also learned all kinds of other great stuff for helping me get my body REALLY healthy. My cholesterol is more than perfect, my glucose is great (diabetes runs in my family), my blood pressure is awesome and overall he said I am in pretty good health other than the few deficiencies. I am excited to have the new info and some great tips for maximizing the surgery and also feeling better.
On another note, the other members of my family and household are getting healthier too. Hubby made his first goal to be able to get on the Wii Fit yesterday and my roommate has lost over 25lbs too. Her daughter, the 9 year old that has really struggled, has gotten a grip on her eating and is making great progress, my 14 year old is takinng control of her eating. I have stopped letting my 3 year old snack except once a day and only offer him healthy options for meals. He is eating better and trying new things too! YEAH!! Today feels like a step in the right direction. I so needed a day like today.
Looking forward to many more positive days to come.

You probably need to increase your protein intake to help with the anemia, especially red meats (lamb, beef, venison, goat???). Also molasses as a sweetener is high in iron. Cooked greens (mustard, turnip, collard) are excellent iron sources. As for calcium, there is nothing like moo-juice (nonfat milk). Instead of regular yogurt, switch to Greek yogurt for an extra calcium charge. Also tree nuts like almonds are excellent calcium sources.

Spinach is full of calcium, iron and protein.

Thank you everyone! I am feeling better already by adding the vitamins and eating more balanced meals. Just having a hard time getting in all of the food they want me to eat and keep the calories low...
