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.

Thanks for sharing this! I looked into ordering injectables but didn't know which brand to trust and what dosage to buy. I looked at Trim Nutrition but their reviews look made up and they never respond to emails. Can you please share the brand and dosage you're using? And if you don't mind, also, where you got them from and for how much? I'm 11 days post-op and I have no energy! I'm sleeping most of the day; other than being at work. It's terrible. I'd really appreciate any information you can share. Thanks!

Go to your pcp. Anything you order off the internet will be a scam unless you order it from a reliable source. Same as HCG. I just went to my pcp and told him what I wanted and he wrote me up. Your local feedstore may have it also. We used to that B12 for our horses and cows when I was young. Vet grade and human grade are the same. Just Vet grade are usually in bulk lol

I'm wondering what they actually gave you so I can buy it on my own. I do not have insurance.

I'm.wondering why do I have to inject

Absorption varies greatly from

Injection- Up to 90%

Liquid Close to 40 and up to 55%

oral Close to 33 and up to 40%

Why do drug users prefer to inject over oral? Same principal better benefit from the product

My numbers are alittle wrong but not much. When I studied Bioavailability of absorption 12 years ago I saw the chart but this is close enough to what I remember.

Question: I haven't seen anyone weigh in on the SL spray version of B12? I'm having surgery this week, and was thinking it might be a workable solution for me... I am not good at taking meds, period, so this is a whole new world for me!!

My physician sent me home with a prescription for the nose spray on my first visit. It is pricy but the company offers a coupon (which my surgeon supplied with the script) that ensures your out-of-pocket cost won't exceed $25 for a one-month supply. The coupon is good for three uses which will carry you through the first three months post-op. The great thing is that this product has one of the highest absorbsion rates available and you only use once a week with one spray in one nostril. No shots. No pills. No yucky tasting liquid. Do some research and see if you might want to consider this as an option for you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
