Omega 3?

I read a previous post about omega 3 & was wondering how that is a need for WLS people?
I've gained 8 lbs since last yr. And I know that isn't alot but I never made it to my goal. So add the 45 lbs that I still packed around,the 8 lbs, it is a lot. the charts say I am still obese. (I hate that word). I'm short, only 5 ft so at 183 I am still big. I also carry it all in my thighs & hips. Very odd shaped. lol. Kinda like a large pear.

We malabsorb some fats/oils, so we are not getting our fair share of the Omegas.

We use Coromega to get that in. Emulsified, kinda like a spoonful of pudding. No, doesn't taste like fish

Do you sell that.  Never heard of it.  Please tell us about it.

yes, i do. tested it in my own blood before I'd offer it. who ever heard of fish oil in a non-fish oil form, right?

If you have gained 8 pounds and never made it to goal, the problem is not in any one supplement and Omega 3 (any thing else) will not be a magic bullet.

You can take the supplement, but you still need to eat less and excercise more.

I take it for my cholesterol...I've always had a problem with high cholesterol but after surgery it came down and it seems to be getting better. I've never had a problem with fish taste with it but some people do.

I've just started taking Krill oil as an Omega 3 supplement. They are a fairly new marketed item, so who knows what they will say about its efficacy in a year's time. Prior to this, I wasn't taking fish oil, mostly because of the possible pollutants, nor was I taking flax oil, mostly because the caplets are so huge!

Anyway, krill oil is suppose to be better than fish oil (it's also more expensive), having antioxidants and less of a likelihood of containing pollutants.

I agree that lacking any one supplement is probably not the cause of your weight gain. As they say, its a matter of eating less and moving more! Simply said, but difficult to do. 

Have you tried going to a post-op support group meeting? Or a back-on-track meeting? Even Weigh****chers may be of help. I hate the word "obese" too. I prefer to call myself a "work in progress". 

Also, I've heard/read that weight carried around the thighs and hips is less harmful than weight carried around the middle (like me - I'm an apple), but it is also very difficult to lose.

Good luck!
