And from experience.. fyi... Vitamin shots are better in the abdomen and or hip... arms HURT... I just had a B6 and they put it in my arm and it took three days for it to quit hurting.. like shoving cold molasses into the muscle...

I do sub-Q injections in my belly of B12. In the beginning, I had one shot every week and I gave them to myself after my doctor showed me how to do them. As my levels adjusted, I got them every other week, and now I get them once a month.

While I can't say I ever noticed a reaction like an inability to sleep, they did help immensely. I felt more rested even with the same amount of sleep, I had more energy during the day and my memory really improved. All of this led to me feeling less irritable and generally easier to be around.

I was also diagnosed with an Iron deficiency at the same time and started taking a prescription Iron supplement around the same time, which might explain why I had such immediate effects. I felt better within two days of starting both supplements.

They say B12 also boosts metabolism but I honestly didn't notice any increase in weight loss or appetite. I simply felt better, which was my goal.

      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.
