I'm going to start using this one when it comes out next month. http://www.boresharesearch.com/sweetberry.htm
It's 10 grams of protein but it's good. I got to sample it and it tastes way better than anything I have found on the market. I can't handle the Bariatric Advantage products( I actually met with the owner when the products first came out about helping market them but I couldn't handle the taste!) and I'm driving distance from them and have been in to sample all their products and can't handle the artificial sweeteners. This company has a natural sweetener that tastes better than sugar and is low glycemic. Both my dietitian and Bariatric Surgeon have approved it and they have asked me when I get my hands on some of the protein to bring it to the support group for sampling. I was able to preorder a few cans. I don't think they are taking orders at the moment but the projected date is first week of Feb. For my calcium, vitamin D and Magnesium supplements I use their bone matrix and my labs have greatly improved to mid normal range and as a bonus my arthritis has stopped bothering me. You may want to read up on the products and see what you think. You can always email me if you want any more info.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate all of your advice. You'll probably be hearing from me again. There wasn't a support group in the small town I live in.

No problem. We're all in this together . Having WLS puts us all in a
special group that no one else understands unless they've walked In our
shoes.

2a. Iron deficiency
Posted by: "MotherOf3" afterwls@aol.com vicstevens

Iron deficiency that can lead to anemia is a known side-effect of gastric bypass surgery. Correction of this condition is a 'gray area', there is no same answer for everyone in that group. The problem is absorption of iron at individual levels. If it is a problem for you, you must find a knowledgable doctor, have your blood tested at least twice a year, eat food that impacts this condition, and either take supplements or get vitamin shots to ensure you don't become anemic.
Please stay in touch with a doctor on this issue. We are not medical professionals here, nothing said here should ever be construed as medical advice. Our input is strictly anecdotal from our personal experience.
I've had a slight iron deficiency since my RNY in January 1999 (13 years!), and my doctor(s) tried over-the-counter and prescription supplements for me, but those didn't have much impact. I have my blood tested twice a year for Vitamin D and blood cell count, and am lucky in that I'm holding at a lower level of iron without visible effects of anemia.
Vitamins 'work together' with each other and simply taking an iron and Vitamin D supplement may not do the trick. Some studies show increased Vitamin C intake can aid in the absorption of iron. Here is info one such study:
Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!
