Help! Struggling with low hemoglobin
I'm about 7 weeks away from surgery. Trying to build up my hemoglobin level. I'm presently at 10.5 My surgeon said if I get to 11.9 he can still do my surgery. I also realize I was not taking my iron right. I use to take it after meals now I sticking to 1 1/2 hours before meals to help with absorption. Please pray for me guys I really don't want to have to cancel. I have a whole lot going on right now too. My husband's daughter ( my step daughter) passed away in Jamaica so we will be traveling soon. Just waiting on funeral arrangements to be finalized. It's such a sad time right now. I will post a few pics of me trying to decide what to wear .... OMG.

I am so sorry for your loss Lovely. Lots of prayers for you and your family during this time. May her light always shine down onto you. Warm thoughts and memories will always brighten a day when you are sad. Keep her close within. Safe travels to you as well.
You look great, I vote for the dress with the gorgeous lace sleeves.
The few things I know about iron are:
There is Chelated and Ferrous Sulfate.
Take 2 hours before/or after taking calcium.
Chelated Iron is close to what your body would naturally produce.
Chelated absorbs better.
Are you seeing an endocrinologist?

I'm currently taking ferrous sulfate and I also purchased a liquid Iron at the Vitamin Shoppe. It's called Floravital. I'm also eating more iron rich foods like liver, kidney and greens.
I haven't seen an endocrinologist yet, however, my sleeve surgeon thinks the problem is absorption as I was taking it after meals and remember I'm a coffee drinker and coffee inhibits absorption. I'm trying to do better and take it 1 1/2 hours before meals with a Vitamin C tablet even though it tends to make me feel nauseous. At my 1 year visit it was 11.9 now it's down again but I think If I'm consistent it will go up again and I won't have to cancel plastic surgery. Please pray for me. Thanks for your kind regards.

December 30, 2016
My condolences to you and your husband. I pray that everything goes well with your surgery. Stay positive. Both dresses look great. Personally, I like the black and white dress...
December 30, 2016
I'm doing good thanks for asking. My weight has stalled wich has me a bit worried. I'm thinking this too shall pass..lol. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
December 30, 2016
Don't worry too much stalls are normal and your weightloss will pick up again soon. I'm still stuck at 164 but I'm happy. God bless you and Happy New Year to you and your family.

My condolences. To increase your hemoglobin take Vitamin C and folic acid supplements . Also try iron fortified cereal. Red meat also is another source of iron .

Hey shuga, you need some guava, beets and red bell pepper juice to increase your HG. I have some other stuff I will recommend but will inbox you.
January 11, 2017
Also maybe an iron infusion, or keep eating iron rich foods, spinach, beans, etc. They have pure-absorb, floradix, S.S.S. tonic, iron tables 325mg, vitamin C, folic acid. Iron rich foods would be best but you can speak with your PCP and let them know that for the surgery you will need to increase your HGB and if they would consider giving you an iron infusion. You don't have much time, I wish I would have signed in sooner. Inbox me so I can put you on to some FB groups.
January 11, 2017
Thank you so much Jay. I'm taking Floradix and I also take the iron pills with Vitamin C tablets. Eating liver, kidney and greens almost everyday.
I bring beer juice to work everyday. I'm trying girl. It wasn't absorbing because I was taking the supplements after meals, now that I'm taking it 1 1/2 hour before meals I hope everything goes well. I even notice that this month my period is lighter since I taking it better... OMG ... Please pray for me. I'm leaving next week for the funeral. Hope you are doing great!!!

Please find out if you have to stop supplements 2 weeks prior to surgery! I'm gonna go to DR and I know that's a requirement. Just find out! Pray that all goes well, god willing your HGB will be on point. Check your inbox! Keep in touch with me. Drink the beet juice, with red pepper and guava from the fruit! That's the concoction they use to raise it up. Good luck momma!
January 12, 2017
Ok I will. Thank you so much. I can get fresh guavas in Jamaica for sure. I'm gonna make that concoction.
