Are all fish oil pills the size of my head? Are these ok to take after you are sleeved our will they get stuck? I went to GNC on the recommendation if another thread to get the orange ones (forgot the brand name) and the girl convinced me to buy the store brand because they "had more per pill and were buy one get one half off". I got a box of the pills and a bottle of the liquid for when I can't take pills right after being sleeved. I didn't realize the pills were so big until I got them home and opened them. Do I need to take these back?

I bought some Coromega's packets from Amazon but they are going back because they have a very fishy after taste, although the reviews swore they didnt.

Even though I'm confused about how to translate doses of fish oil to krill oil, I'm going to take krill oil instead because the pills are so much smaller. I can't imagine swallowing the fish oil which used to make me nauseated even pre-op. ugh.

That's the one I originally went for - Coromega. Are the pills smaller? I know people are taking fish oil after being sleeved so either these huge pills are ok or I'm way off track on what I'm buying.

I have yet to see a fish oil pill that isn't huge. But I take them all with no issues.

Whole Foods has liquid Fish Oil, but I found it slimy and couldn't do it.

I use Coromega packs, the orange flavor, from GNC. I take two a day. I don't find it fishy, but I know others do. I do always follow my Coromega with a chewable multi Vitamin from Bariatric Advantage, or caramel Calcium chews also from BA.

Fish oil is good for your cardio vascular system, and will help you keep your hair. I increased my intake to 2 packs a day when my skin started to itch. It has really helped.

Are the coromega packs smaller than a standard fish oil pill? I definitely want to take a fish oil.

Coromega packs are a gel pack. Not a pill at all. You squeeze the gel into your mouth. My cardiologist recommended Coromega, as she has studied fish oils and believes Coromega has the right combination of the most effective fish oils.

Maybe I should just gut it out on the taste. My skin is SO dry I'm all wrinkly and I'm scratching like a monkey.

Gamergirl we've had this conversation before... Your thyroid really doesn't sound like it is operating properly. It could be another hormone too if you are entering menopause, but sounds an awful lot like hypothyroidism - incompletely treated - to me.

I just got blood tests so will wait to see what the thyroid says. I'm already on testosterone and progesterone, and my estrogen levels seem fine. I suspect it's because of the really low fat intake in our diets, but intend to ask about the t3/t4 levels.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
