fish oil supplement



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 12/30/2010. I have been doing great. I was on a fish oil before surgery. I would like to continue fish oil. I am wondering can you just take the pill since it is a gel form. Anybody with anwsers is greatley appreicateled.

Try Mega Red (I think it's krill oil) - the pill is about half the size most of the fish oil capsules I've seen. It's more expensive, but the size works for me and blood work seems to show a positive result.

I am taking the fish oil caps but poking a hole in the end and squeezing it into my mouth. This is per my surgeon.

Hi, I have also been on multiple Vitamins and supplements before.

As for anything in a capsule, I take it apart and mix it with my ground pills. For anything chewable, I have found that by grinding them up and mixng them with my pills, then everything goes down better.

Now for Fish Oil... I have a great Gummy Omega 3-6-9 supplement. It is called Slice of life and it is awesome. I haven't pricked gel caps and sqeezed that into juice, but that is how my daughter gets my grandson to take his. I just have a real problem with the fishy smell and taste. I am thinking it might not be so bad if squeezed into my Protein shake if it had fruit ground in with it all.

Good morning, I have been taking the same fish oil as before my surgery. But if my restriction gets too great in the future I will probably go to a liquid Omega3 and just add the oil to my morning protien shake.< /p>

How do you find everything is going TPAD?

I used to take EIGHT fish oil daily for the anti-inflammatory properties of it. Needless to say, I can't continue taking 8 horse pills.< /p>

I ordered this liquid fish oil, has a lemony taste and goes down fine. It's working just as well and isn't too expensive either--

Everything is going great for me. I am over the soreness from surgery. My diet has progressed well. I have to go back to the doc in three weeks. The nurse said I might get my first fill then. I still drink tw Protein shakes a day. To make sure I gt in my Proteins. I see online CVS has chewable fih oil supplement. I am going to check that out soon.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
