Low on D and B12 vitamins
I just heard from the doctor. I apparently am low on D but very low on B12. So now I have to have B12 injections and buy myself a D vitamin mouth-spray because I really don't want to take any tablets. I have to call her back though since a replacement called me and he never said anything about the insulin and all that jazz. But I am just a tad bummed that I am low on anything.

B12 comes in sublingual tablets that dissolve in your mouth. The kind I take are cherry. Mmmmm. I take a tiny gel cap of Vit D every night. I don't have any problems with pills if I take them in the evening after a meal when my band is open. When my levels were low, I took a big dose of the VIT D, but now that the level is ok, I just take 5,000 IU each night. Those are easy issues to fix :)
ReplyDeletewe only have tablets to swallow or injections, and I'd rather have those than forgetting to take the tablets.
DeleteI went through all the pre-op testing and the chest x-rays and the arterial blood gases and I came back with a clean bill of health...except for the vitamin D and B12. So it's pretty common. I get a B12 shot once a month (the sublinguals don't work for me) and take vitamin D pills but they're really little so no big deal. I also take a calcium chew that has vitamin D in it too but not enough to help my levels so I take the 2000 IU a day by pill as well.
ReplyDeleteI also went through the pre-op blood work and everything was OK. I guess this could also explain my hair loss among other things. I have to get an injection every other day for a total of 5 shots they call it booster shots, but I don't know what will happen after that. I bought vitamin D drops, but I think I might try the Now D caps next, they're quit tiny.
