I am extremely anemic. This is no shock to me, although my iron and ferritin levels are somewhat shockingly low. It's not shocking, considering how I've been feeling, but the levels are lower than they've ever been. My MD wants me to take iron supplements, and they all make me very sick to my stomach. Like, *very* sick to my stomach. I don't know if I'm going to have a choice, though.
I haven't had the energy to exercise in a while, but that's no surprise there. On Monday, I had to lean up against walls so that I could stay vertical.
The good news is that I continue to lose weight. As of this morning, I'm just four lbs above my lowest weight since I was banded. THAT is very encouraging news. I can't wait to lose those last four pesky lbs and finally start getting closer and closer to my healthy goal weight.

Losing is great but not at the risk of your health young lady...
Humor me and have some red meat today, OK?

I agree with Alison - you need protein! Ben has low iron, so he takes Flinstone vitamins (most kid vitamins don't have iron). Maybe you could start with those and they wouldn't upset your stomach.
Low iron = dead brain cells. I know you have plenty to spare, but still!
I agree with Stephanie, start with the kids vitamins... I'm sure your stomach will thank you... and you have to start somewhere!
geesh.
i take the kids vitamins daily
I am glad you have a diagnosis, now follow those doctor's orders and get better. It's not fun to tease sick people....well it's still kind of fun, but not AS FUN
