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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
