They make the orderless, burpless fish oil now, but they are so big I am afraid to try to swallow one! I tried to open one up and put it on food and I thought I would die with the first bite! Talk about nasty!

You do need fat in your diet - I try to stay away from saturated fat but overall I dont really eat a particularly low fat diet, not huge fats either but I definitely dont shy away from avocado, olive oil (things like pesto and dips), olive oil based spreads, and I do eat quite a lot of salmon, which is a good oily fish. I also take fish oil because its just a good supplement for almost everybody to take.

You really need to good fats to balance out the saturated fats you eat as well if you eat meat and cheese and the like. And it does make a difference to your skin and hair.

I notice it REALLY helps my son to have plenty of Omega fats in his diet, his asthma is way more controlled when the inflammation in his body is kept under control. He takes spoonfulls of flax seed oil a day and I often do too.

You know, I really hadn't thought about it much until I noticed my skin starting to get really dry. And my hair. I started thinking about it and realized what the problem likely is, oil/fat.

I hardly have any fat in my diet at all. I don't eat meat but I do eat tuna. The only cheese is what I recently started buying and that is parmesan cheese crackers. That's it for fat in my diet. I don't like most dairy products, I don't eat dead animals much unless it is tuna, thus... the dipping oil.

I'm going to buy some stuff from the link above. It sure sounds more workable than if I tried to make the stuff. I'm just dangerous in a kitchen.

Sheesh.... you'd think the fat on my body would suffice! :)

      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.

        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!
