If you have been advised by your Dr that you need to take these shots, I would ask your Dr.

Yes, please call your doctor if it isn't on the bottle. Everyone is different, so please do NOT go by what someone else is taking. You could harm yourself.

Just for your reference a cc is the same as a ml so 1 cc = 1 ml. The insert with the B-12 vial and on the prescription bottle will have your dosage. If you are uncertain, call your doctor or pharmacist to verify.

I know what my dosage is but don't know if every doc prescribes the same amount.

My pharmacist showed me & hubby. My dr had a larger syringe ordered for my injections, the pharmacist gave me smaller needles and told/showed us how much to draw up on the smaller syringe.

Please consult your doctor/nurse/pharmacist for this info as everyone elses order may be different from your own. I take my shots once a month; I know of another person who takes it more often.

      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.
