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.

Hi Health has a brand that is made into a pudding.

I'm not a brave soul, haven't tried it and don't wanna.

Lol. My general practioner wanted me to start fish oil pills, even after i told her abot my band! I was like 'were you even listening to me?' Haha. So yeah, no fish oil for me.

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.

Leena how do you know its mercury free?

oh nm i see on the bottom of the label it says it on this GNC brand.

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.

I never heard of it for weightloss, but I took it for better skin a while back, I took the pills.. and everytime I spent the whole day burping fish (preband) so I can't take em anymore.

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!

Gahhh... no thanks. Lemon flavored fish oil is not appealing.

I know it does not sound good! but it takes away the after taste!
