I tried the GNC calcium citrate chews and they have an awful taste to them. I was dreading having to eat one of these 3 times a day. I tried a few others, and I had to hold my nose while choking them down.
I looked at some reviews online and saw some really good ones for Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chews. I ordered the assorted fruit flavors so I can see if there was any one I liked. In the bag is Orange, raspberry, strawberry & lemon. Got them in the mail super quick. Only 1-2 days. To my absolute delight, these are amazing! They taste like Starburst candy. I actually look forward to eating them!
They are $36 for a bag of 90 (one month supply) and worth every penny! They have many other flavors too...chocolate, caramel, etc.
This find was way too good not to share!
The weight management center at my hospital sells them in their office, so I can get them there for the same price minus the shipping.
If you come across them...grab some!!!

Keep fighting! I had the same GERD/hernia issues since I was sleeved 5 years ago. Just had revision on 7/23 and have not had one second of heartburn/reflux. Make sure your surgeon does endoscopy. Meeting with nutritionist & behavioral will speed the process along too. I saw both of them before even scheduling surgery and I didn’t need to go through any of the classes again. Best of luck!!! We are rooting for you!!!

I successfully ate a small portion of fat-free, sugar-free fro yo, but not until about four months out. At four weeks, I would stick to the diet plan provided by your surgeon and nutritionist.

Go Slow, take Teeny-Tiny bites and see what your body will allow. Until later times it is Your One and Only Best Guide, treat it kindly and it will remain Your Friend always! God Bless and watch what Your Future may Be.👍😛🌈

Had my revision to RNY yesterday. Surgery went well and they also fixed a pretty large Hiatal hernia. Water is going down fine. I keep sleeping with my mouth open & it is royally drying my mouth out. They gave me an anti nausea patch behind my ear that is working like a charm . The pain is also different from when I had the sleeve. More gas in my chest this time & it feels like I did 8million sit-ups, but I know each day will get better. To all those getting revision- make sure you walk laps around the floor and definitely take the main meds. They work! And make sure you ask for sugar free popsicles !
I assume the Dr is going to make me stay an extra night but not sure.
Happy I am finally through it and on the road to no more GERD.
Good luck to all who will also be going through this!🍀

Oh no! please dont hurt me Kale 😭 I would be devastated
I'm newly revised as well and I had a few shaky moments over the past week with foods i was fine with prior.
I cannot have cream based Soups anymore. It makes me too quesy. Luckily i dont need them. I know think any super fatty food that isn't a nut may bother me. Also the smell of foods are heightened as well. Otherwise ive been taking it *somewhat* slowly and eating the foods im used to. I'm curious about vegetables/leafy greens as those are my loves.

Nope. I eat all. the. things.

Just curious- for those of you who had revision from VSG to RNY, are there any foods you ate all the time with the sleeve that you can no longer tolerate after your revision to RNY (or vice versa)?
I’m still on full liquids, but I really had no problems with any foods (except kale) after the sleeve. I go back to work when I’m on puréed and afraid of eating something that will make me sick at work.

@Frustr8 Elvis also added bacon 🥓 to that glorious combination!!!

And P.S. today I weighed and I am. 188.8, proud and yet humbled by It All- never even dreamed I could have THAT success- especially at 73 years. PCP thinks now I AM TOO SMALL- bullfeathers- I am less than 15 pounds from my Dream- we will renegotiate THEN and only THEN.

Is Natural (no sugar) PB and bananas a yes or no in the puréed stage? I’m still on full liquids, but dreaming of the day.

If you're on full liquids, you can blend banana and PB in a vanilla Protein Shake. Bliss.
I called it my Elvis shake and it was one of my favorites.

I usually get caramel, coconut, and chocolate Peanut Butter. The fruit ones are good too, though

I love the caramel ones. It's the only flavor I order now!

I love the Celebrate 500mg calcium citrate Chews. Love all of the fruit flavors, but especially adore the watermelon. Like Starburst candy.

I’m about 5 months out.

So I used to used smooth love tea which worked! But it comes with cramps and discomfort in my lower abdomen. The last two weeks. I’ve been drinking straight up celery juice in the morning and it’s worked wonders for me. I have regular BMs and I don’t have abdominal discomfort. 💩

Go back to your surgeon and ask them to test THOROUGHLY then submit it under revision for DOCUMENTED GERD (medically necessary)
Good Luck 💜

Thanks I was actually looking at those this morning

I just got an order in yesterday. Only I got the caramel flavor. Next time I will get the fruity version!
