I first bought these shots in the hospital pharmacy in Mexico -- now I get them at a similar price per injection (about $2.50) from a Mexican pharmacy site. It may be placebo effect, but I *think* I fell better on them :)

There are a lot of good YouTube videos on giving yourself a B-12 shot - I can't feel a thing when I inject the upper/outer quadrant of my buttocks - I just stand in front of a full length mirror and twist to get a good view :)

Any compounding pharmacy can mix its about $12. Per 30ml. You can also get single dose vials dirt cheap.

I tried to do the B12 sublingual Tablets for a month or so and it felt like it took five-six minutes to dissolve even though they were tiny. Decided to go with the B12 injections. I had to call up my Dr. and get a prescription. When I got to the pharmacy (Walgreens), I noticed that they offer many different types of shots i.e. Flu Shots... Basically, everything but B12 shots I inquired as to if they could give B12 shots also. They said if you have a prescription, they could administer the shot. It is an unwritten/unmentioned service that is offered to customers. So, for the last 2 months, I have been getting B12 shots from the Pharmacist. In and out in about 10 minutes. B12 prescription is $15.00, administering the shot is free! Hope this helps.

There's no way I could give myself a shot! I also pay $15 for my monthly B12, and the pharmacist at Kroger gives it to me lickety split!

      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.
