What dosage of B12 is recommended after surgery?

Had my RNY 03/28/18. All went well and was recovering well until I started having a lot of pain in near my upper left incision. I got a heating pad and just dealt with the pain believing it was gas. It felt like a baseball was underneath my skin. I didn’t have a fever but I was tired. Again, I thought the fatigue was normal. I decided to call Dr and he said head to ER. It turned out to be an infected abscess. I am glad i listened to my gut and went to ER. So lesson is, if you don’t feel right, don’t be afraid to ask Dr.

I was just thinking the same thing. I smell food and then remember how great things taste but once I really get around food, I turn off. Some days I feel I am not eating enough. I am 1 month out from RNY and still lack energy

When did you notice a real difference in your energy level?

I am in Arlington and see Dr Brewer who is with Dr. Hodges in Las Colinas. Surgery date is 03/28. Doing bypass

I have been told that cold liquids can cause you to get what was described to me as a brain freeze headache in your stomach. Anyone have or not had those issues?

I don’t mind protein shakes but can I use soy or almond milk in the shakes pre op?

Yes, liver shrinking.
