Coromega Omega-3 Supplement, Orange Flavor, Squeeze Packets, 90-Count Box packets - can be purchased through Amazon - best for fish oil in my opinion.

Topic: RE: Meal planning help

Pinterest is your friend. There are low carb ideas, insta-pot ideas, meal planning ideas. Get yourself an account and set up some boards, then you can start making lists.

I plan my proteins for the week over the weekend with how I'm going to prepare them for myself and my family. Then I'm not coming home at 6 trying to figure out what the heck to do with the pork chops.

For snacks, I tend to stick with the Sargento Balanced Bites (chesse and nuts, prepackaged), almonds, yogurt, raw veggies with hummus. Sometimes popcorn as a treat.

Best of luck!

Keep on losing!

Jackie, I'm afraid I can't offer you any advice except that you might want to post this in the VSG forum. It gets a lot more activity than this one and you might get some answers.

I just tried the Nature Valley Granola cups and they are very tasty and filling. They went down well.

Topic: Looking for vitamin recommendations

I am 6 years out from my surgery and have gained most my weight back. I am currently getting off depression meds and have heard that fish oil is good for that.

My brain explodes when I try to research fish oil and other vitamins because of the mass of info (and a lot conflicting) out there. I figured the folks here would really know their stuff.

I used to order from Vitamin Lady and may do that again but am looking for recommendations for fish oil I can get right now at the grocery/drug store.

I am coming off all my psych meds trying to get healthy and lose weight again. I may be wrong and have been told so by my reg. doctor but I believe that psych meds really mess with cravings/sugar balance etc. that helped me gain back a lot of weight. I just want to be off of them but I am having some major withdrawals and have read that fish oil helps, so wanted any advice about good supplements that may help my brain get back to somewhat normal.

Yes, I am. And I am going to go back to see my nutritionist here in the next week. So i am looking forward to that. I need to see her to get back on track to help me get to where I need to be as far as my eating concerns.

Never. When you commit to WLS, any of them, you commit to vitamin supplementation for life.
