Birth control
I have the Mirena IUD for several reasons including PMA, hormonal headaches, PCOS and heavy bleeding. I get really light periods with the IUD which are so much better than they used to be. The only bad side effect for me is it's causing bad acne. I'm doing have children also.

Gagging through protein shake
I've bought some of the sugar free Torani syrups at World Market but I've also ordered on line some of the DaVinci sf syrups. Orange is good with vanilla to make a creamsicle or the peppermint paddy is good with a chocolate shake for a chocolate mint. I was told not to use straws but the advice about not smelling is a good idea.

Gagging through protein shake
If the ready to drink shakes are too thick you can add skim milk to dilute it and add extra Protein. I use a lot of flavored syrups. I found a sugar free eggnog flavor that I add to vanilla Premier Protein and its just like an eggnog shake from McDonalds.

Vitamin B12 shots
I've been getting B-12 injections for years before my surgery because I have pernicious anemia. Personally, I've never noticed an increase in energy or appetite from them.

How do you take pills!
My anti depressant and thyroid pills were small enough that I could still swallow them. Anything else was liquid for two weeks. After that I split the larger pills with a pill splitter or crushed them.

Worried about prescriptions - antidepressants
I was on citalopram and levothyroxine before and after surgery. The pills were small enough that I could swallow with no problems. The bigger pills though I had to split in half. it's a good idea to buy a pill splitter before surgery.
