I once was on a very well know diet Dr. Bernstein and we had to take B12 and B6 injections 3x per week. It was in the fat in the belly, just a small needle similar to the ones for diabetes. Just a bit of stinging when the liquid went in. The injections boost your mood and energy and make you feel good. That was the only diet I could actually follow (low carb, low calorie) in the past. My allergist gives B12 injections in a accupunture point close to the wrist and he inserts just the tip of the needle, no pain at all and immediate boost in energy. Maybe you coudl reserach a bit more and avoid the pain of a large needle. :(

Bkind, I'm wondering why you get the shots weekly instead of monthly. Is it a different dosage? I've been getting a monthly injection and haven't felt the benefits (energy) yet. If getting weekly shots is an option I might give that a try.

I get a B12 shot weekly at my drs office and I love it! It's not painful at all and I can definately tell a huge difference in my energy when I miss a week...they don't even compare to the sublingual I used to take that I got from GNC. The shot just works sooo much better and I notice more energy as the days go by! Ppi's prohibit b12 absorbtion so it's important to keep those levels up...not only for energy but, neurologically as well...good luck!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
