Well Bruce, I WISH I COULD! UGH...okay let me explain a bit.

My preliminary appointments consisted of having every lab test known to man. I found out I had some major vitamin deficiencies, and I'm anemic apparently. I'm on a supplement regiment and I receive vitamin B12 shots on a weekly basis. 

B12

B Complex

Calcium

Vitamin D 

Fish Oil 

Iron

Multi Vitamin 

I started on the IRON during my second week, and I'm not too thrilled. All my vitamins made a drastic change. More energy, feeling good---BUTT (lol) I am not regular if you know what I mean. Today was weigh in day.

WEEK TWO:

1lb melted away

Okay, okay...so I didn't gain any weight but I was still disappointed. I mean I ate so much ruffage this week it wasn't funny. There's no reason I should be backed up, until I found out that was a side effect of iron supplements. Cody my LPN, suggested I take probiotic powder. What the french toast is that?! Well ladies and gents, it's this weird powder packed with "good" bacteria like the kind in yogurt. It calls for putting 1/2 a tsp in water and drinking it. I tried it tonight, and it really has no taste! But the container smells like vinegar lol. Cody assured me it wasn't like a laxative, so there'd be no danger in the belly grumbles and mad dashes to the bathroom.

Still, I couldn't believe it was only a pound! Cody was confident that I probably did lose, but alas...for once in my life I can honestly say I was full of shit.
