Five days or so after starting the new meds
Jul 28, 2014
So, I started back on the Metformin - one 500 tab twice a day - so far so good on that. Before I had surgery, I really thought I had problems with side effects, so hopefully this means that my overall eating has improved.
I have doubled up on my iron - essentially this means now that I am taking 360 a day - 120 with each meal and if I can work in an extra dose anywhere after fitting in the calcium I will. I am eating more red meat and may consider some liquid iron just to increase my options for iron intake. I am very committed to getting in this iron and doing good so far...
I am taking 1/2 the dose of the weight loss meds and so far am not taking the 2nd dose and feel ok - my appetite is less - so taking this slow.
I did find the name of the therapist I was referred to, and got her information ready to "make that call", but did not yet call her.
I have lost five pounds...
