Fish oil capsules



Recommended Posts

Before surgery, I had been taking fish oil caps on recommendation of my PCP. Before surgery, my surgeon asked me to discontinue them but now, after LBS,

he said to begin them again. Right now, without fills that shouldn't be a problem, but after fills, with restriction I was wondering if anyone was taking these and

how they went down. I'm sure not going to open them, they're nasty.

I'm surprised that your surgeon would tell you to take something that large!

Look at you...37 pounds lost already!! Are you trying to show up all those whipper-snappers?! ;)

I have been banded since Jan. I have a good amount of restriction, in the green zone. I can feel my band with every swallow, have been stuck more times that I can remember.

Having said that, I take 4 Lovaza fish oil caps every morning, along with other rx meds.

You would be surprised what you will be able to do.

Only take one at a time, and may have to wait a few minutes in-between. And do not have any food before or immediately after.

Yes, I have gotten stuck taking them,but like anything else you learn a certain technique.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
