Fish Oil Supplement

[cutlass6521 124]

Is anyone taking fish oil supplements? I have read good and bad things about adding this to our diet.

Don't know, I take Krill oil for the omega's. Just don't take if you are on an anticoagulant.

I did pre-op, but post-op Miss Tummy would give them right back. So, I gave up and just eat more fish than I used to.

I too have heard not to mix this supplement with blood thinners including the 81mg aspirin.

I am starting to think it would be better to include more real fish in my diet

My nutritionist told me to take 1000 mg of fish oil daily, so I have been. I can see where they might bother someone after surgery, but I'm still pre-op so can't say. The other things she told me to start taking pre-op was 10,000 IU of Vitamin D (my levels are very, very low), 1000 mg B12, and Calcium citrate (5000 mg). I finally got the Bariatric Chews for the Calcium, although the peanut/butter choc is not so good, and neither is the caramel. The lemon on the other hand is like eating a Starburst so I have to be careful with those

Interesting, I was told to stop taking fish oil. I actually stopped a week before surgery. I'm not sure if it's temporary. I'll have to ask the NUT when I see her Friday. I am only 7 weeks post surgery.
