I'm taking about 3 grams a day and while it made me tired the first few weeks, it's leveling off with very nice anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects. If you do a google search on " omega 3 fatty depression " or something like that, you can see all of the articles. Their site is www.omegabrite.com in Austin ------------------------------------- , How is this possible? I thought that " we " don't absorb fats, oils, etc. Bcuz of that, I quit taking my fish oil caps right after WLS. Are you a very short proximal?

I think many, if not most, of us proximals or medials (I'm 150 cm bypassed) absorb much of what we ingest. Of course, everyone is different, and because of that difference we must monitor our labs, but often for the most part, malabsorption is not as extensive as we think.
