My one feel tired around the eyes and front of the

Brain. ? My body does not feel tired but my brain and eyes do if that make since . I feel foggy brained some time but when I get a B12 shot and the other b shots it seems to go away a little . I am a low testosterone and have not got any shots for about 4 months and think that will clear up the fuzzy brain feeling I hope . Any other idea

If the B12 seems to help, then it would make sense to try getting in some extra B12 between shots. From what I hear, sublingual tablets are easiest for the body to absorb. Give it a shot and see if it helps. B12 isn't something you wanna be lacking.

I'm not saying stop the B12 shots. But you probably can't have one everyday, so in the mean time, there's no reason to use sublingual B12 as well.

I know you are . I just get a B12 once every 2 weeks and it seem to drain after a couple days . Think I will try the b12 sub daily but when I use to take them they did not seem to work as good as the shots . Think also try the testosterone soon to see if that helps .

I'm no nutritional expert. But I've read that because post-op we're on high Protein diets (and very low carb diets) that our brains miss the ready energy they need (like carbs) to hit on all 12 cylinders.

Post-op for WLS patients most of our focus is on weight loss. But nutrition is necessary for other things we have to do, too.

I don't know what the answers for you are, but I would suggest you consult with your NUT about these issues, rather than prescribe for yourself willy nilly.

Hi there,

My husband has to get testosterone shots every 2 weeks. I can tell you he immediately feels drained / tired when he doesn't have it 'on time.' It affects his energy levels, and it makes me grumpy too :) While I think getting the B 12 shot might be helpful, you should probably talk to your regular Dr about getting those testosterone shots again too. I'm pretty sure that will help.

Take care of yourself!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
