I am gonna have to throw this at yall. For 5 months and 2 weeks I took the liquid form. For the last 2 weeks I got the injectables with a slin pin. I feel absolutely way better than the previous 5 1/2 months. Energy is elevated, mood elevated. I am a firm believer in injectable B12. Throw the rest away. I loaded my system with 1ml every day for 7 days then 2x a week there after.

Thanks for sharing this! I looked into ordering injectables but didn't know which brand to trust and what dosage to buy. I looked at Trim Nutrition but their reviews look made up and they never respond to emails. Can you please share the brand and dosage you're using? And if you don't mind, also, where you got them from and for how much? I'm 11 days post-op and I have no energy! I'm sleeping most of the day; other than being at work. It's terrible. I'd really appreciate any information you can share. Thanks!

Go to your pcp. Anything you order off the internet will be a scam unless you order it from a reliable source. Same as HCG. I just went to my pcp and told him what I wanted and he wrote me up. Your local feedstore may have it also. We used to that B12 for our horses and cows when I was young. Vet grade and human grade are the same. Just Vet grade are usually in bulk lol

I'm wondering what they actually gave you so I can buy it on my own. I do not have insurance.

I'm.wondering why do I have to inject

Absorption varies greatly from

Injection- Up to 90%

Liquid Close to 40 and up to 55%

oral Close to 33 and up to 40%

Why do drug users prefer to inject over oral? Same principal better benefit from the product

My numbers are alittle wrong but not much. When I studied Bioavailability of absorption 12 years ago I saw the chart but this is close enough to what I remember.

Question: I haven't seen anyone weigh in on the SL spray version of B12? I'm having surgery this week, and was thinking it might be a workable solution for me... I am not good at taking meds, period, so this is a whole new world for me!!

My physician sent me home with a prescription for the nose spray on my first visit. It is pricy but the company offers a coupon (which my surgeon supplied with the script) that ensures your out-of-pocket cost won't exceed $25 for a one-month supply. The coupon is good for three uses which will carry you through the first three months post-op. The great thing is that this product has one of the highest absorbsion rates available and you only use once a week with one spray in one nostril. No shots. No pills. No yucky tasting liquid. Do some research and see if you might want to consider this as an option for you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
