any of you taking calcium?

i know osteoporosis is a big issue for the ladies but did your dr recommend it for you?

i know the ladies will be reading this also and some may have some info or be in the medical field and have knowledge regarding this.

My coworker just got gastic bypass and we are using same doctor. He is supposed to take calcium citrate 3x per day and 1 multivitamin just like I am.

i just take a multivitamin but my nutritionist does suggest focusing on a high calcium diet because she says it helps with counter-acting fats in your diet or something..

I'm female and haven't been advised to take calcium. I didn't know osteoporosis was an issue after banding, it's not something my surgeon ever mentioned.For us females I think it is more of a concern after the menopause . I do find that since being banded I eat a lot more dairy than I did previously - lots of greek yogurt - so that would probably help.

My surgeon insists on the calcium (I am female~~~I'll ask the guys at the support group meeting though). I take 1 Caltrate 600+D+minerals 2X/day.

I've been using Calorie Counter Database - Free Online Diet Program , it breaks down everything you eat. Even having yogurt and pudding during weeks 1 & 2 I didn't hit the calcium requirements for the day.

I also get weekly B12 shots (My pre-surgical testing showed a deficiency) and daily Multivitamins. My hair has grown 4 inches from this!

I take 2 chewable tums w/ calcium 750 per day. I also have a multi Vitamin and Vitamin D. Though the "D" was suggested by my gyn b/c of my birth control.

I am 41 and a bit away from menopause. The calcium was something they tell all patients.

I take 2 chewable multi vitamins, a calcium plus vitamin D and a B12 vitamin everyday. That reminds me...lol.

i think everyone no matter what gender should take vitamins including calcium daily....
