Every day, tablets that are held under the tongue.

I was originally told once a week under the tongue. Then, after my first blood test at 3 month, it was a bit low, so I now take it twice a week.

Have you been sleeved? How far out are you? Have you had blood work done? What does your Dr say?

I was told daily sublingual under your tongue for life.

I take the B-12 tablet sublingual daily with my Vitamins but I was curious about getting B-12 via Poweraide Zero.

I drink 6-8 servings of Poweraide Zero a day and it says each serving has 15% of your daily B-12. Does that mean I am getting a larger dose of B-12?

But I thought that B-12 was not absorbed via the stomach? Any thoughts?

The nutritionist told ne it isn't absorbed very well in the stomach and even less with small tummies. Hence, the need for sublingual.< /p>

I used to take the sublingual tablets every day but was recently tested and found that even that wasn't enough. I just got my first B12 shot and WOW what a world of difference! I feel about a billion times better than I have in a very long time.

So take your tablets daily but be sure to get labs done around six months and one year to see if you're deficient in anything. Now that I'm on B12 (and taking new Iron supplements) I'm doing a lot better.

And yes, it doesn't matter how much B12 you consume in your diet or pills that you must digest because you need more stomach to absorb it than we have after being sleeved.

For those with a fear of shots it comes in a nasal spray.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
