Wow. That's crazy. You should be taking a B12 pill every week. It gives you energy.(:

You should ask your pcp to run some blood work. TSH ( thyroid), vit d level, cbc to ck your Iron level. Even though we shouldn't be Vitamin deficient since we asorb our nutrients you may want to get checked for those. Hope you feel better soon.

I was told to take a Multivitamin (Flintstones is my choice) and B12 every day.. Vitamin D is recommended if you are not out in the Sun much.. (fortunately I live in Fla.) I have good energy.

try it and you will see a difference.

You need to ask your doctor about this...... or at least his nurse or dietician. Let us know what they say. Everybody's doc is different.

I get labs drawn in the morning to see if I'm low on anything

My doc had me on a multivitamin since before my surgery and I have to continue taking it. I wasn't told to take B12. I will ask on my next visit because I'm tired quite a bit lately myself. Thanks for the tip.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
