I am so thankful that I had weight loss surgery I feel soooo much better. I no longer need to take the 8 prescription medications I was on for GERD, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea. Weight loss surgery resolved all my comorbidities but there are some lifelong rules I have to follow... one of which is taking vitamins faithfully. Seriously so many post-operative issues and complications can be avoided if we just make sure to take our vitamins every day.
Not all vitamins are created equal.
From Building Blocks website: "Building Blocks Vitamins-Essential Bariatric Supplements were developed to address the specific needs of the surgical weight loss patient. The product line was designed by a team of bariatric professionals with health and success of the bariatric surgical patient in mind. Created to address the nutritional malabsorbtion problem and the restrictive effects of bariatric surgery."
If you are suffering through a nasty, dusty tasting sublingual B-12 pill. You must try Building Blocks Vitamin B-12 Spray - It tastes like spearmint breath spray but is delivering 1,200 mcg of Vitamin B-12. The patented Nanoceutical Delivery System reduces the size of the vitamin molecules into "nanodroplets" and this I'm told helps to increase absorption benefits. I love it. I keep it on my desk, I reach over twice a day and do three squirts. No nasty taste or mouth feel. Just yummy spearmint like I chewed a piece of gum. Some sublingual B-12's seriously leave you feeling like you ran your tongue across the baseboards in an old house. This is actually enjoyable.

Even if you don't win this, I highly suggest that you get it from BB. I won a bottle from BTV, and I just love it! Shelly's review is right on, and if you spray it when you're snacky, it helps take that away because you feel as if you've brushed your teeth. It's good stuff.
And I would love to win another bottle! Thanks, Shell!
I would so like to try this. I hate taking pills and a spray would be nice to try. Jackie

Seriously, I don't mind my cherry-flavored sublingual B-12; I actually prefer them to taking my nasty chewable vitamins or chalky calcium citrate powder. But I LOVE the idea of a multitasker B-12: vitamins AND breath spray?? WOW! Sign me up!! :)

Hello,
I would love to be entered in your contest. I love your recipes. I just made several batches of different crustless quiches because I go back to work next week and need something quick and easy to pull out of the freezer (I am 6 weeks post op) These are now sitting 2 per bag and ready to go. That with a little salsa should be a quick and easy meal.
junemaltese@comcast.net
That would be fun to try. It seems to take forever for the SL to dissolve.

Shelly, This sounds like a great product. I plan to try it whether I win it or have to buy it. More to the point, thank you so much for ALL the information you share with us on a daily basis. I really appreciate all the work YOU put into this for US.
I love the sound of this. Thank you for sharing! I've been "forgetting" mine (meaning it is too icky to take sometimes) and I know that is just self-defeating. Thanks for sharing an alternative.
And I blogged about the giveaway (yea, 2 entries!) at http://scribblinginthemargin.blogspot.com/2010/03/this-is-real-work.html.
Thanks again!

Hi there,
I've recently learned about your blog and added a link to your blog on my Blog www.oncemorewithsurgery.com I love what you are doing here. I just had my surgery on January 18th and it's nice to have some other information to pull from as I go through some of the hard stuff.
That B-12 vitamin spray looks really interesting. I would love to be entered into the contest.
