Hi Shonnee,
According to my nutrition manual, the highest source of iron is Black Pudding, followed by Liver. Any meat, oily fish or eggs are also good sources of iron. Haricot Beans are a high source too, but are very high in carbs. The same is true of lentils, Apricots and figs. Almonds are high in iron, and moderately low in carbs, as are desiccated coconut and peanuts. Should be enough choices there to bolster up your iron intake, without going overboard with carbs. Even bacon contains iron, but no carbs.
I can understand your desire to get your iron level right, with the operation looming up. Good luck with it, and with the eventual operation as well.
Best wishes,
Andy.
