My one feel tired around the eyes and front of the

Brain. ? My body does not feel tired but my brain and eyes do if that make since . I feel foggy brained some time but when I get a B12 shot and the other b shots it seems to go away a little . I am a low testosterone and have not got any shots for about 4 months and think that will clear up the fuzzy brain feeling I hope . Any other idea

If the B12 seems to help, then it would make sense to try getting in some extra B12 between shots. From what I hear, sublingual tablets are easiest for the body to absorb. Give it a shot and see if it helps. B12 isn't something you wanna be lacking.

I'm not saying stop the B12 shots. But you probably can't have one everyday, so in the mean time, there's no reason to use sublingual B12 as well.

I know you are . I just get a B12 once every 2 weeks and it seem to drain after a couple days . Think I will try the b12 sub daily but when I use to take them they did not seem to work as good as the shots . Think also try the testosterone soon to see if that helps .

I'm no nutritional expert. But I've read that because post-op we're on high Protein diets (and very low carb diets) that our brains miss the ready energy they need (like carbs) to hit on all 12 cylinders.

Post-op for WLS patients most of our focus is on weight loss. But nutrition is necessary for other things we have to do, too.

I don't know what the answers for you are, but I would suggest you consult with your NUT about these issues, rather than prescribe for yourself willy nilly.

Hi there,

My husband has to get testosterone shots every 2 weeks. I can tell you he immediately feels drained / tired when he doesn't have it 'on time.' It affects his energy levels, and it makes me grumpy too :) While I think getting the B 12 shot might be helpful, you should probably talk to your regular Dr about getting those testosterone shots again too. I'm pretty sure that will help.

Take care of yourself!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
