I Do Not Like Fish

I used to use Omega 3 before surgery but stopped after as it was not a required suppliment. This Omega 3 seems to have some healthful benefits. Do any of you veteran sleevers use it? If so, do you use the soft gel cap oil and what doseage? Thanks again!

Yes, and I read that Chia seeds and walnuts also contain Omega 3.
I do not like green eggs and ham.

Yes, I use one as we, too, don't (or rarely) eat fish - the current one is a 1400mg gelcap - so it seems like a reasonable way to mitigate whatever shortage there may be.
The required supplement that the surgeon gives you is just an initial baseline, and is in addition to whatever you needed before surgery - if you were short on D, B12 or whatever and supplemented it prior to surgery, then you should continue doing so irrespective what the surgeon's program adds to it, at least until subsequent labs tell you otherwise. Likewise, what is recommended by the surgeon is just your starting point, and should be adjusted accordingly as labs and later diet dictate.

Thank you for your reply! It surely can't hurt and my regular doctor recommended it long before surgery.
