Best Answer

Red meat is the richest source of iron. There is also iron in dried beans, dried fruit, green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds, and in fortified breakfast cereals. For example, a cup of oatmeal with a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses provides about 80% of your minimum daily requirements of iron. Avoid spinach, which can hurt the absorption of iron. Raisins and Prunes no longer contain a rich source of iron. Go to your health food store or vitamin ship and ask about safe, easily absorbed, non-constipating iron supplements like Floradix that can boost your iron levels. In 5 days, it's hard to do. Usually it takes at least four weeks to show improvement.

What pain do people with gastric bypass go through?

There are different types of gastric bypass surgery, most of which are major abdominal surgery. As is the case with any surgery, the patient is asleep during the procedure and then treated with medication in the days that follow to manage the pain. So, all in all, while the patient will likely be "sore" for several days after the surgery, no physician worth his salt allows a patient to be in pain.
