WHY do we need 'calcium Citrate"?

Found this online, it explains it better than I could:

"The main form of Calcium supplements are calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. Both are well-absorbed by gastric bypass patients, although those with decreased stomach acid will absorb calcium citrate more comfortably. Calcium combined with citrate is the top quality compound for maximum absorption of calcium."

I am having a hard time finding anything locally. I did find gummies, but was told not to get Gummy ones at all. I wonder if the chewy bites are ok as they aren't gummy but not chewable tablets either.

I am having a terrible time getting my Calcium in. I have some of the powder form that a friend gave me. But I keep forgetting to take it!

Another example of how much our taste differ. I like the peanut butter flavor but have since changed to caramel. Yum, yum

Our taste does change immensely after surgery and it differs individually. I cannot tolerate the chocolate calcium chews and I would forget powders as well so I purchased Caltrate minis. Easy to swallow and smaller pill I can take with other Vitamins.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
