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!

If you need more info email me I found this line of Vitamins during my weight loss and they have helped me so much!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
