Lipo-B12 or Adeno-B12 injections



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used Lipo- or Adenosine B12 injections post-op to help with the weight loss/fatigue? Did you feel like they boosted weight loss and your energy?

I've been getting B12 shots (not sure what kind?). I feel good, but I don't know any different, because I've been getting them all along. I'm a slow, steady loser, so I wouldn't say it's helping much with weight loss.

Is "Lipo- or Adenosine B12" considered a B-Complex Lipotropic? If not try one of the B Complex Lipotropics, see how that makes you feel. =)

A minute clinic or anylabtestnow should have them for around 25$. And for some reason, you can get it w/o an Rx. But you can't buy the vials and inject yourself w/o an Rx, unless of course it's for your pet. O.o Don't get me started.

You should be able to taste it in your sinuses if you've had a good shot, and it should be in the glutes. Some places are scaling back their dose and just giving it in the arm. I'd ask how they do it. Any nurses or anyone please chime in if you know why please. =) To get through lots of adipose tissue you just need a longer needle to hit muscle.

Yeah, these are the lipotropic shots. The weight loss place I used to go to does them, and when I called to ask if they had a program just for the shots, the office mgr suggested I use the place they get theirs from - b12shots.com. They have a subscription that's a lot cheaper than the $25/shot at the doc's office.

They did work for me when I injected myself, and I did lose weight. However I haven't tried them since I had VSG surgery.

The law, so um, I ordered some from a contact I had. I loved their Vitamin.

But YES, they did help me. I could taste it after an injection, and I did lose weight and have more energy. My vials were very dark orange or reddish. 25$ for one injection now is just too much, especially now that they've cut back their dosage and I didn't feel a thing last time I tried them. So it's on principle for me now, not to give them my business.

On Body Building forums I've read those guys talk about different labs and their products and how they differ in getting them energy. I think mine was from Sun Labs last time I injected them.

Body Building forums, I'd just ask there too. They will know a lot, that of course they have to "get for their pets" in the USA. *sigh*

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
