 I was wondering if we take garlic or fish oil....which is said to be good for us, will we absorb them?  Does anyone else take these along w/our norms?  Thanks for the replies.

After RNY we malabsorp fats, so the fish oil doesn't work for us. Garlic, it would depend on how it's delivered, if it's in oil, not likely to get a lot of the benefit.

Good luck!

Since you are more than a year out, you will absorb SOME of the oil-based vitamins, but will not absorb all of them.  I do a daily Omega 3, but I take a double dose to be sure I get enough.
