How in the world do I take fish oil?!

[Cervidae 2,389]

My med instructions say to continue my fish oil capsules (two enormous ones daily). I'm three days post-op and can barely swallow tiny pills. How do you guys take you fish oil? I tried emptying them into an ounce of unsweetened apple sauce but it was so disgusting I almost vomited for the first time while trying to down it. any suggestions? thank you!

i found a liquid at Sams club that is lemon flavored. ill be using that and havent found any real alternatives that arent completely disgusting.

You can get smaller pills and space them throughout the day, that helps too.

I've been searching for smaller pills but can't seem to find ones that would suit my needs. We have checked a couple different drugstores, Walmart, wegmans, etc. Maybe I'm just missing it?

I got mine from Walmart they are small pearls. 500mg per capsule. Much easier to swallow over the big guys

What are you taking fish oil for?

What are you taking fish oil for?

Something to do with my PCOS. I believe it helps keep my skin-related issues from PCOS to a minimum. My specialist seemed to swear by it, and I actually have noticed a difference since I started it.
