B-12 Injections



Recommended Posts

I read somewhere that after surgery your body will need b-12 suppliments/injections for the rest of its life! Has anyone experienced this or have any info in this topic?

Yea this is true. You can also use b-12 sublingual pills instead of the shot . My surgeon told me it was my choice which one. I was sleeved 3/26/12 and when I went for my last check up 3/24/12 he gave me my first shot. I just thought it was easier than adding another Vitamin to take this time.

I love the shot! It's so much easier. The doc gave me an RX and the hubs gives it to me once a month. Much easier than trying to remember another Vitamin every day.

Thanks for the info guys but it just mind boggles me to think by having this surgery my body wont get enough Vitamins (b-12) from food alone, that seems crazy....

I'm doing the sublingual pill once a day. I just put it in my pill case along with all the others. It really isn't so bad.

I was told by my surgeon that unless we have the bypass surgery and unless our B12 levels are low, we would not need the b12 injections or pills. I am not prescribed anything but a Multivitamin and nexium.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
