I just bought some Viactiv soft chews from Sams club...and let me tell you they taste just like camel bites. They taste really good and not chalky tasting at all. There are about 120 chewy bites in a bag for $11. Hope this helps

I also have the Viactiv and they are ok. What I have found thru journaling all my eating with My Fitness Pal app on my phone is that I actually eat the amount of Calcium I need in a day. I eat yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese and milk daily. Therefore, I do not take a supp regularly.

I eat the sugar free Kirkland brand chocolate chews from costco. I look forward to each chew I get to eat all day. LOVE them. I buy my kids the children's Gummy bear ones that are at Costco too. They taste just like candy and are like swirly colored and look good.

Becky, those calc sups do look yummy but they are 35 cals each. On my >1200 daily, that's 70cals I don't want to spend. Not to mention they are expensive.

Thanks all for your suggestions! I went ahead and ordered me vitafusion Calcium gummies and Fiber gummies from Amazon.com. The reason I chose vitafusion over others is because I take their Gummy Vitamins and they are delicious you people and I am not even a fan of gummies!!!!!!!!!

I hope calcium and Fiber gummies are as delicious as Vitamins because when I ordered them they were expensive!

Do u all count calories in your vitamins and calcium and fiber supplements because its going to cost me 100 calories for all of them!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
