Vitamin E and Fish Oil and Iron

I was wondering if anyone knew if we can absorb vitamin E and fish oil.. I know that the vitamins that are in oil like A and D are needed to be dry becasue we do not absorb the fat they are in .. so how do we get in the E vitamins or fish oil.. ??

I used to take fish oil all the time and I wanted to add it back to my diet.  Alo Vitamin E was in my bariatric multi vitamin but I notice the amount is much less in Centrum Senior Chewable and was wondering if I need to add E and how..

Also the multi had iron in it and the Centrum does not.. does anyone know how much I should be taking.. I do not have TOM because of the DEPO injections but I am going off of that NOW.. so I may start again real soon.. so I am confused as to how much iron to take..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

I believe we RNYers can't absorb Vitamin E? I recall reading something like that on the Main Board some time ago.

My nut recommends fish oil. Although she gets a lot of things wrong, I think she has this one right based on what I read here. I take one packet of Coromega every day.

You might check out Andrea U's blog and see if that answers any of your questions. She's also pretty responsive to posts on the Main Board or the RNY board. Especially if they're specific, like yours.

Thanks Patti...

I never thought about Andrea but I should know that.. she has helped me many times already.. guess my brain had a time out.. I have asked my nut too, but she, like yours, gets many things wrong.. she told me to take Vitamin D3 from walmart.. when I asked if we need to take the dry formula she said she never heard of that.. She also told me one time that she never heard we can only absorb about 30g protein at at time.. so I have to rely on OH a lot of the time..

I will get a post out to Andrea and see what she says.. I also talk to her on facebook so I could contact her there..

Thank you for the response.. I really appreciate it , and the reminder of Andrea's knowledge..
