taking large pills

Just got some new fish oil pills to take and they are pretty large. How do people with the band take large pills? Does anyone have a problem with this?

I had the same problem with fish oil pills. They can be enormous depending on the dosage. You may want to look into a smaller dosage taken more frequently, like 400 mg three times a day rather than 1200 mg once a day. I switched the red krill oil. The tabs are small and they seem to have the same benefits. I did find a brand that has a concentrated fish oil pill that is small, 1200 mg in a tiny pill but they had an aftertaste that was unpleasant.

I got the liquid kind. I think it Carlson brand but I got the Orange flavor and you only take a teaspoon 2ce a day and it is pretty good. No after taste or belching fish oil. It does have to be refrigerated after you open it.

Hey thanks, I will try some, (thank You)

I don't know why it works, but I take these enormous pills every morning and I don't have any problem with them. You might want to try it and see how it goes. For whatever reason, anything in a capsule form (no matter the size), I can take. Solid pills, like large vitamins make me feel nauseous, but don't get stuck. Go figure...

Mega Red Krill oil is good and supposed to be better then regular fish oil....

I take one every day and no problems they are small and only have to take 1 a day compared to 3 with the big fish oil kind...

All the pills I take are pretty big. Take them in the afternoon as your band may be tighter in the morning.
