B-12 Shots



Recommended Posts

What mg's are you guys taking?

I just bought some b-12 500mcg sub. dots - from Walmart. I thought about taking one tonight, but after reading what Mandy wrote, maybe I should wait and start taking them in the AM?

I cant afford to lose any more sleep :notagree

Not sure what the dose is, and it's upstairs, that requires passing a sleeping childs room. I will check tomorrow. I know that mornings are better for me, but ymmv....~Mandy

Ya, B12 is awesome for energy. I take a powdered B12 that I get from a friend in Wisconsin, it really works. She has powdered Calcium that I take too. Let me know if you want to know more and I'll PM you her info.

I have taken the B12/hcg shot while going to weight loss doctors. They are suppose to help you lose inches as well as give you energy. I was wondering about doing the shots after surgery to help keep from being saggy from losing weight.

      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.
