B-12 is not a mandatory Vitamin to take on a daily basis! I was wondering if anyone takes it as part of their Vitamin regimen and how much do you take! I talked with a pharmacist and he said if you took more than your body needed you would just urinate out what your body didn't need! I bought some in hopes that it would help me with a little more energy!!! Help please!! Thanks

B-12 was on my Doctor's mandatory list... I use the GNC lozenges.

Was told to take sublingual B12 twice a week for life. Didn't know in the beginning I needed it and once I started taking it I noticed a tremendous increase in my energy.

I was told to take sublingual B12 2500mcg three times a week for life. I wish I got more energy for taking this but I just dont.

I just received my blood results and my B12 was elevated-2000 and its supposed to be between 211-946. I've been taking 10,000mcg a day and i'm only supposed to take one a day otherwise the rest of my results were fantastic. I think I'll stop for a couple of weeks and start again at just one a day. I'm such a dummy but I had absolutely no energy since the GS.

      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.
