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! :)

      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.
