I found liquid B12 at this website. http://www.vrp.com/energizers/b12-methylcobalamin

The liquid is cinnamon flavored. Tastes pretty good. I believe when I bought them last, I bought 2 bottles and got 1 free. 1 4 oz bottles lasts about 4 months.

I go into surgery exactly a week from today (nervous!) and was wondering if anyone has tried this product: Trim Methylcobalamin Max (B12) 10,000 mcg/ml? I'm also uncomfortable with the idea of injecting myself, but I feel like this would be the best option for getting B12 with my sleeve.

If I was gonna do B-12 injections I would have my doctor write a script and fill it at the pharmacy. Some insurances will cover it and if your doctor writes for needles some insurances will cover that too.

Good point! It is definitely much better to have a doctor prescribe it than to just order from some random online store and that's why I'm hesitant at this point. Unfortunately, I don't have insurance. That's one of the reasons I am going to Mexico for surgery. I really don't want to lose my hair at 3 months post-op, even though I know it comes back at around 8 months post-op. I made the mistake of relaxing my hair twice in the past and I've been wearing it naturally and curly for almost 3 years now and just want to keep it from falling off.

I'd love to hear from anyone who ordered non-prescribed B-12 injections online and how it worked for them.

I'm taking the dots from Celebrate Vitamins. They dissolve pretty fast. I recently had my 3 month post op blood work done and my B-12 was excellent. I've always taken supplements so this one is just another small one I take in the morning along with one of my multi-vitamins, Biotin, and Vitamin D.< /p>

Wow! I didn't even know there is a website out there specializing in supplements for us! Thanks so much for sharing that! I see a couple of options for B-12 pills on there. I'm wondering which one you've been taking?

The sublingual B-12 in Cherry Flavor. I don't order them off the site though, I buy them through my nutritionist as she stocks them. They also have them on Amazon but I think they are more expensive than the Celebrate website.

I picked up a B-12 sublingual liquid made specifically for bariatric patients at Hi Health. It is made by twin labs. It is a good sized bottle that should last awhile. Doesn't taste too bad.

Bariatric Advantage sells a sublingual B12 tablet in a black cherry flavor and it is not that large. it tastes good too and really doesn't take that much time to dissolve under my tongue.

The directions on my b-12 say "place under tongue for 30 seconds then swallow.".

I just grabbed my bottle to read the directions, it just says take one tablet daily or directed by physician.

I wonder since I'm chewing them if I'm getting any of the benefits.

I'm sure you are. B-12 is so highly dosed in the pill form, it's hard not to get the benefit.

I am gonna have to throw this at yall. For 5 months and 2 weeks I took the liquid form. For the last 2 weeks I got the injectables with a slin pin. I feel absolutely way better than the previous 5 1/2 months. Energy is elevated, mood elevated. I am a firm believer in injectable B12. Throw the rest away. I loaded my system with 1ml every day for 7 days then 2x a week there after.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
