Hey Everyone, I'm sure this has come up before, but I could not find any threads!

Can anyone recommend a good Omega-3 supplement that is chewable? I have fish oil pills that are too large to swallow and the last few chewable ones I tried were fruity with a fishy undertone that makes me sick! Just curious what other options there may be!? Thanks :)

There is a liquid version with a lemony taste that is not too bad if you stick it in the refrigerator. It is oily, but if you can get past that, it's easy to take, I just shake it and swig it. I found it a Vitamin shoppe: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=9A-1001#.UfcW422rWJ0

You cannot swallow the gell caps because you tried? or where told not to?

I take a Rx Omega 3, 4 large gell capsules a day....it has done wonders for me and refused to give them up....I have been taking them, plus Vitamins and other pills without crushing them since the day I was banded.....never had a problem.

Told my surgeon and all he said was "Good For You"..."Not everyone can do it without problems"

That has been well over 2 1/2 tears ago...

As it is with everything, foods, carbonated drinks, pills, it comes down to how well we get to know our band, and how well we learn to "Listen" to it.....

I've tried the gummies and some do have an odd taste. However, there are tons out there and each one tastes different. I'm with B-52 and now I just take a large gel cap and I never have any issues.

NatureMade has a Super Omega-3 Mini Softgel. I get mine at Target.

I have tried the Nature Made Gummy and that is one that I feel is fruity with a fishy undertone! I would definitely consider a liquid form as long as the taste is tolerable!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
