Anyone taking fish oil supplements? I have a co-worker who takes it to help with her high cholesterol. She has only been taking a few weeks and has lost 11 pounds tool.

Fish oil is a great supplement to take. It's the Omega 3 stuff. Anyways the problem is the pills are quiet large. If anyone can find smaller fish oil pills let me know.

My kids and dh take fish oil, actually it's cor or core Omega. It's comes in a ketchup packet type of container and is orange/chocolate flavored. So it is bandster appropriate. I can not take it however as I have a heart arythmia and there are a few studies out there that say those with arythmias shouldn't take it, also my pcp doesn't approve of it for people with arythmias as well.

You'll also want to make sure that your fish oil is mercury free too.

it comes in liquid form in a bottle. i thought it would be totally gross but the lemon flavored is quite good. no fishy taste at all.

i took it to lower my bad cholesterol. i took it every day for three months and ate oatmeal every day for Breakfast. but when my cholesterol was checked it didnt make a darn bit of difference. so i had no alternative but let my dr put me on cholerosterol lowering drugs. i hate that. the whole idea of the band was to get off meds. but she insisted.

personally, i dont think my bad cholesterol was all that bad. she said it was 30 points above normal.

my good was normal and my overall was fine.

Its a good supplement for everyone, it has so many benefits. I take it, and it really helps with the dry hair/skin I suffer from and I've noticed it does reduce inflammation in the body too - really helps that poor old heel of mine with all the running.

I'd love to take it but the capsules are too big, the liquid is too stinky, and I really can't bring myself to try the fish in a pudding thing. Gahhh...

I just eat the fish. I had salmon 3 times last week and my cholesterol is perfect. I love grilled salmon, salmon moose, salmon croquettes, curried salmon. I always lose better when I increase my fish intake.

Optamega Is a great way to get your omegas if you can not take pills!

also if you can take pills and just can not take the taste this line has a Biomega that has a lemon in it to take care of the after taste!

      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!
