Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 What kind are you using? Mine don't taste bad at all. In fact, I kind of like them. Laurie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I get a monthly B-12 injection (which isn't enough to keep your levels up) and I also do a daily B-12, but I get the B-12 from Trader Joe's. The one from bariatric advantage and from the other company I get vitamins from is NASTY and takes forever to dissolve. The TJ's one dissolves in just a couple of seconds and is tiny and is cherry flavored.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Delaina, not to assume that you aren't aware of this...but you DO know that the B12 sublingual is something you place under your tongue, and you let it dissolve, right? I mean, you don't chew it, because it is pretty nasty if you do that. It could be a matter of taste, but I don't find them particularly offensive, so I was wondering whether you might be taking them improperly?

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 My sister wants to know, of those of you that are post-op, if you take the B-12 daily, twice weekly, or how often? I'm not real sure what she's been doing so far, but I am under the impression she's taking it 2 times per week. Seems to me it should be more...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have to take 2.5 vials so I take it 3 times a week... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 They say to take it twice weekly but most people recommend taking it daily. You can't get your B-12 too high!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I took mine 2x a week, but to help the energy, I started taking them everyday. They are water soluble so it poses no danger to take them more often (so sayeth my surgeon.) RobynnRose wrote: I take mine 2x a week also.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was taking the sublingual as recommended by Dr Fisher, only twice a week, but my labs showed I was low, so I started doing injections monthly instead. Now Im doing monthly injections and a sublingual everyday. > > Does anyone get the injections instead of the using > > the sublingual b 12..that crap is NASTY > > > > > > > > > > ______________________________________________________ > > Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. > > http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have been taking B-12 twice weekly since surgery in May. I had blood work done in June by my pcp. I was concerned about being anemic since I've had problems in the past. Both my pcp and Dr Dutta said my iron and B-12 were fine. I'm not sure that blood work taken 3 - 4 weeks after surgery would show me being low in either.. does anyone know? I see people on here posting about taking iron but I haven't started although I do think I should do it on my own even though both doctors said I was fine.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Thanks to everyone who replied about the B-12. She seems to be pretty energenic and getting along fine so far. We'll see what her blodd work says. Ron Re: b12 injections I have been taking B-12 twice weekly since surgery in May. I had blood work done in June by my pcp.
