Being told not without prescription, etc. If I can't get it, should I be taking .70cc of just B12? I am having trouble getting the B6 on the westcoast.

The bruise probably resulted from my squeezing that fat with one hand while I puncturing the needle into my tummy with my other hand. Watching the needle go in did cause a bit of fear in me! But that bruise that I still is large! Like 2 inches by 1.5 inch in size!!! So it wasn't an allergic reaction or anything right?! Cause this was the first time I inject both b12 and b6 into myself. And oh ... up date ... I'll have lost about 10 pounds in total over 4 weeks! Slow ... but still deserves a Woot woot! :-))) Hey Phatchic,

You will get better with the injections with time. I have bruised myself when I am trying to hurry. I hope you do well on this diet :) Hi Dishearted The reason you bruised is because as you said in your comment you were a bit clumsy,what will happen is you will brake some blood vessels which will cause the bruise.

I am still grateful for the program. That's cause it's helped me learn to eat less and prevent me from having cravings! I've lost minimal amount of weight (not as fast as I would like), but I was tiny to beign with (4' 10 and 115 to begin with). My suggestion (as I was skeptical to begin with), is to read this entire site on the bernstein diet ... so yeah, click to see the other pages and what everyone else said. Myself ... after reading this entire thing ... I signed up at Dr. B for one week (about $315 I think) to see what it was all about ... and I have signed up for another two weeks after that (roughly $160 per week). After all my shots (which will go into fourth week ... cause I couldn't get any shots in the third week), I plan to go on maintenance for two months (and where I might / will really continue to give myself the shots from home until I reach my desired weight) so that I can learn what the maintenance portion is all about. That's cause one the cost of the program is expensive and I don't want to pay $160 a week just to loose one pound ... which is what is happening with me now ... and trust me, I'm also following the diet strictly! Again, the slowness is probably cause I'm at my last ten pounds. And I think I will incorporate exercise now to get rid of the last 10 pounds. So ... that's what I did ... first two to three weeks so I can understand the program and get supervision. Then off to maintenance ... and I will shoot myself, and likely visit my doctor to get blood work, etc. Hope this info helps! And I am still grateful for Dr. B cause I gained the weight over the last two years and whatever I did, I didn't really loose weight and had a hard time curbing my appetite ... until now that is.

Actually I have an appoointment upcoming for the consult. How did you find the diet when you first started? I would like to loose 55 lbs. But according to their guidlines it is more like 95lbs. I am a little nervous about this, but I have been struggling with other diets and I need a good boost to see results. Please let me know what you think. Thanks. Hello Disheartened,

So ... in the meantime, I got myself some B6 and B12, and gave myself and injection. The first time I did it was only with B12 (needle was 3ml 25G1 - 0.5mm) and that went fine although I was a bit clumsy. Today, I used another needle (1ml 27G1/2 - 0.4mm) and gave myself a B6 and B12 shot in the lower portion of my stomach. About two hours later, I noticed a big huge, huge bruise where I shot myself. Hmmm ... can anyone explain why that is? I'm a bit worried that I'm doing things wrong. Thanks! And oh ... my B6 ... I asked the pharmacy close to my home and they brought it in with no problems. Cost just under $50. HI Everyone,
