Lipo-B12 or Adeno-B12 injections



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used Lipo- or Adenosine B12 injections post-op to help with the weight loss/fatigue? Did you feel like they boosted weight loss and your energy?

I've been getting B12 shots (not sure what kind?). I feel good, but I don't know any different, because I've been getting them all along. I'm a slow, steady loser, so I wouldn't say it's helping much with weight loss.

Is "Lipo- or Adenosine B12" considered a B-Complex Lipotropic? If not try one of the B Complex Lipotropics, see how that makes you feel. =)

A minute clinic or anylabtestnow should have them for around 25$. And for some reason, you can get it w/o an Rx. But you can't buy the vials and inject yourself w/o an Rx, unless of course it's for your pet. O.o Don't get me started.

You should be able to taste it in your sinuses if you've had a good shot, and it should be in the glutes. Some places are scaling back their dose and just giving it in the arm. I'd ask how they do it. Any nurses or anyone please chime in if you know why please. =) To get through lots of adipose tissue you just need a longer needle to hit muscle.

Yeah, these are the lipotropic shots. The weight loss place I used to go to does them, and when I called to ask if they had a program just for the shots, the office mgr suggested I use the place they get theirs from - b12shots.com. They have a subscription that's a lot cheaper than the $25/shot at the doc's office.

They did work for me when I injected myself, and I did lose weight. However I haven't tried them since I had VSG surgery.

The law, so um, I ordered some from a contact I had. I loved their Vitamin.

But YES, they did help me. I could taste it after an injection, and I did lose weight and have more energy. My vials were very dark orange or reddish. 25$ for one injection now is just too much, especially now that they've cut back their dosage and I didn't feel a thing last time I tried them. So it's on principle for me now, not to give them my business.

On Body Building forums I've read those guys talk about different labs and their products and how they differ in getting them energy. I think mine was from Sun Labs last time I injected them.

Body Building forums, I'd just ask there too. They will know a lot, that of course they have to "get for their pets" in the USA. *sigh*

      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? 🤷‍♀️
