Impact of iron deficient anemia

@Nikki300 @camiech. Thank you for sharing your exxperience. It makes me feel that I am not going crazy. I am at Hb - 8 and low supply of blood as my doc calls it. Past few months, I have been doing more exercise and trying to control diet but I gained 8 lb around my waist and hips. It was so heartbreaking . I also have heavy periods but last couple months, I did not get my periods. My doc did blood work and found that all my CBCs for red blood cells are low. He says that I dont have blood supply to loose so no period. Any ways, I started taking iron pills and got my periods back . However, I have question that should I be walking every day till I recover from anemia ? How long will it take to start loosing weight ? I am bloated and dont feel as good with so much of extra weight. I would love to get inspired by people who has already gone thru this.

Thank you so much for your support.
