I need something for energy!!!!

If you REACT to getting a B-12 shot...then you needed one. If you don't react...it won't help much. I've heard of people who have been anemic or run down and when they had a B-12 shot it was like a direct bee-line of adrenaline into their system. They did everything but fly around the room. I've had them before (just very tiny doses each morning) when I went to a diet doctor back in the 70's. I had small shots each morning before work and I noticed a marked increase in stamina, well-being, and I was on a 600 calorie diet at the time (yeah, those were the days) for 5 months and never got sick or felt bad once.

Another thing--and it will sound minor, but will make a big difference---get outside---and breath!!!

If you are already feeling fatigued, don't go out trying to "work out" but go out, and take a walk, breath in some fresh air, get your blood moving a bit!!!

It helps you feel more alert----wakes up your brain!!!

yeah I went the other day and got a chewable multivit. I tell you I think it was the stress of work...I got sick like a week after my surgery and I was trying to keep on working...I think all that just ran me down...I feel much better now...I will mention it to my dr when I go though....see if he thinks it anything to be concerned about esp if I start feeling bad again!!!!

Kanigag I felt great!

It was like an instant burst of energy back in me.

I have continued with the sublingual and that has helped keep the energy up.

I'm glad 4jin you got the shot!!! I swear by them, had my monthly this am and was the energizer bunny @ the gym....

Kat - Your right the fresh air and sun does wonders....Fabulous 80degree day in Dallas today & my horse loved me being on him for more than 15minutes..

A great picker-upper; or some trail mix that has nuts, raisins and maybe some M&M's.

I give myself the B-12 shot once a week.

But the 5-hour shot liquid is a good boost during the day.

Isopure 20oz of fruit flavored drink (not too bad either) and 40mg of Protein - REALLY helps when you have the sinking feeling.

best of luck !!!

My doctor suggested sublingual B-12 500 mcg daily or 1000 mcg two or three times a week. I am also supposed to take B-1 for the first month after surgery. That plus 60 grams of Protein should have you energized. Also make sure you are staying hydrated.

My doctor recommended the same thing.... I just sat through their post op diet classes since i am not banded yet so I remember this being stressed for energy.
