Brain tired

[boccob81 244]

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 found B12 shots seem to work better I am going to see if I can get 2 b12 shots

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!
