Gummies and Fish Oil



Recommended Posts

Fellas, doc told me I could start doing gummy vitamins, which is great because I'm tired of these chewable vitamins. Anyone taking any? What kind do you all like? Also, I'd like to start taking fish oil again but I'm not allowed to take the big pills that they typically come in. What do you all take?

I am still pre op and taking chewable vitamins, so I can't help with that. I have taken fish oil for a long time. Currently I am using Barlean's Orange Cream 3-6-9. It is a combination Fish, Flax and Borage Oil. It comes in a single use packet and has the consistency of a thick liquid. It is flavored orange and has a slight fish after taste.

I have been taking Celebrate Vitamins Coromega Orange for Omega 3 fatty acid supplement. It comes in individual foil pouches that you tear open and eat. Not to bad tasting and it's an easy way to get in the Omega 3 requirement. Here is the link: http://www.celebratevitamins.com/shop/other-supplements/omega-3/coromega-orange-90-pack.html

BTW i get my Vitamins direcly through the Celebrate website instead of the doctors office. Much cheaper.

I saw that costco had a giant container of fish oil gummies a week or so ago for nothing. The idea of that sounds vile but I may consider it after surgery.

      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.
