What tells you that it's not working? Since I started taking sub-lingual B-12 post op, I haven't noticed any changes in the way I feel, so maybe mine is not working like it should.

I know it's not working because its supposed to hep with energy and its not. Maybe my brand is not a good brand or maybe I shld be taking the shots. Please anyone that can help with this I will be grateful

If it's sublingual, are you taking it that way? Sublingual means under the tongue.

Also, other things can cause lower energy. It may not be that Vitamin.

Are you getting your Protein in? What's your height/protein target? Mine is pretty aggressive, compared to others I've heard, but I'm 5'10" and it's 85g / day. We do body composition analysis and I have only lost 10 lb of muscle versus 40 lbs fat since surgery.

Have you had your blood work checked? Are you getting enough Iron? You can't take iron and Calcium together - they need to be at least 2 hrs apart.

What I use for vitamin b12 is the injections to help a lot I get those at the doctors office

I have not taken the liquid form? Does that work better? I'm getting abt 55-65 grams of protein a day. I'm required to get in 65g a day! My iron is on the low side but I'm not sluggish just desire that boost of energy that's I've been looking since after having the surgery.

Do you notice a difference energy wise?

I used the Spring Valley Sublingual B12 2500 mcg. They sell it at Walmart. I used it and it did the job. I just recently went to my 3 mont post op and the doc asked me to stop taking it because my B12 level was on the high side.

Maybe I shld try that but just use it in moderation like every other day. Thx for the information

To tell you the truth yes I did just for a few weeks
