I get enough b-12 in my Multi-Vitamin. My NUT and Surgeon said that it is not necessary for me to take any additional, because the body can only absorb so much anyway. My labs determined that I only needed extra Calcium and a Multivitamin.

With a VSG? Probably nothing as B12 concerns are mostly an RNY thing that many docs carry over to their VSG patients; it isn't even in my doc's protocol for VSG or DS patients. If you aren't feeling overly lethargic, you are probably fine as the main upshot of low B12 is a form of anemia. Go ahead and start taking it until you get your first round of labs done and see what your levels are.

Don't freak out. Take some, but don't beat yourself up about it. Be kind to yourself. Good luck!

My primary doc started me on b vit shots and said that it will help with the weight loss. It definitely helps with energy which is lost from eating less.

B12 is vital to your health. Google it for more information. Talk to your doctor about starting ASAP. Your weight loss is great, however. Keep it up!

I had my good days and bad days when it came to sleeping after my surgery. The first day after surgery I was hardly awake, used to get up only to vomit. But the 2nd and 3rd day I had very little sleep (less than an hour).
However, after I got home from the hospital I noticed that I either used to sleep too much or too little. I found Chamomile tea to be of big help. Try sipping it before going to sleep. It soothes you.
I also found exercising helps. Exercising half hour before bed time - only light hand movements and walks (I take walks inside my apartment from room to room), this makes me tired and then I sip the Chamomile tea and go to sleep . This technique works well for me at least 5 days a week!

One week post op I get so restless around bedtime

Has anybody had sleeping issues!!?? I can't sleep. Even though I'm up by 6 or 630am by bed time I can't, I'm miserable!

I will try it!! I let you know [emoji1] [emoji100] [emoji100] [emoji100] [emoji100]

I am in the EXACT same boat. I'm 5 days post op too. I'm so hungry. Not my stomach hurting or anything, just these liquids. Oh. My. Gosh. I don't ever want to see broth or Jello ever again in my life. I'm so excited that Monday I can have pudding LOL.

Hi Beavuz
I'm in Australia [emoji1037] so I'm not sure if the names are different but I buy these from the super market they ice filled packs with different flavours.
I also crush ice mixed with chocolate whey Protein added with a piece of banana and skim milk
'This helps my protein in take and also helps with the Fluid intake. Mix it up a little I've made some concoctions that tasted vile but after a few attempts I found some that work
Also clear Soup goes down beautifully
Hope this helps a little

5 weeks post op
Not hungry at all, enjoying drinking plenty of fluids from Water, crushed ice with flavour toppings
Love blended fruits / puree such as fresh pineapple is my favourite
I hate my Vitamin tablets takes half hour to get taste out of my mouth.
Down over 50lbs since going on my 2 week pre op diet
So it's 7 weeks since I started my journey and I can honestly say best decision of my life
Good luck everyone

My name is Veronica. I'm 22 years old. I've been in the process of preparing for surgery. I find out my surgery date for the gastric sleeve on February 7th. I am so excited. And motivated! This is going to be my "before" photo. And I will post photos as the weeks go by. Currently I am at 256 pounds. I'm trying to loose 10-15 pounds before surgery.

I don't have that many "full body" photos of myself because I don't really like them.
