My surgeon to be, called and said my B12 was low and I needed to get monthly shots.

I am okay with self injecting, but wanted to know if others felt better afterwards. How long before you noticed a difference?

Sometimes I'll notice later in the day, sometimes it'll take a day or two. It varies for me. Generally though, I always feel a "boost" from them.

Was told I was extemely low and they just put me on 1000 mg a day pill. I have not seen a difference in the way I feel.

pills will take a bit longer to kick in than the shots will.

I can usually tell about 3 hours after I have had a B12 shot,. everyone is different. I can tell a huge difference after 24 hours

Best of luck to you.

I inject myself monthly with B12. I feel the boost instantly. Wish it were weekly though.

The dr can write a script for B12. It's very easy to inject.

And they give you the needles to do so? I'm going to ask my surgeon!!! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
