I was really hoping to find a local source of chewable calcium citrate but I wasn't successful. Most everything was carbonate and the only citrate I could find was in a caplet. I found a liquid citrate in Fred Meyer - it's like drinking chalk .. so I am awaiting for my BA order. I had to cave to on-line ordering but I will keep looking. If any fellow Canadians know of a source, please let me know.

They are the one thing I dread every day. I got some chewable calcium citrate from the vitamine shop and didn't realize until after surgery that I would have to take four of them to meet my 1000mg requirement. They are like eating citrus flavored chalk. The glass bottle broke on the way home at Christmas, and I didn't want to chance swallowing a sliver of glass on them, so I got to throw them all away. Hooray! Now I am trying the Bariatric Advantage samples I got from the doc. The flavors are horrid, and still chewy chalk. At least I only have to take two of them. I tried a choc chew from Bariatric Advantage, and it wasn't too bad, but then it is back to 4 a day. It still tasted chalky. I would rather just swallow a pill, but everything I read says that it absorbs better in chewable or liquid. Sigh. Any chances that there is something out there that isn't chalky?

I have to take 6 chewables a day so feel lucky. I just got some samples today from my doctor, bariatric advantage. I tried rasberry and it wasn't bad at all.

I take the Celebrate calcium citrate Plus 500. 2 chewables per day. I like the taste and texture. I have the berries and cream flavor. I used to like the lemon Calcet chewy things, but they lost their luster.

For me, the Celebrate work perfectly, it's a measily 2 chewables, they dissolve quickly, and don't taste like chalk to me. The cherry flavor and berries flavors are my favorite.

I also take their Mulit-Vitamin with Iron, YUMMY. Again, just 2 chewables per day. I take 1 Calcium wait a couple of hours, take another mid morning/early afternoon. And, I take my multi at night after dinner.

You just have to make sure that your calcium and mulit with Iron are not taken within 2 hours of each other since the iron prevents the calcium from being properly absorbed.

I cancelled my order of the Calcet lemon chews just because I wanted to save money for clothes LOL.

I ordered the Twinlab capsules from vitacost.com It's 125 doses for around 9 bucks.

Tiffy,

If you'll give me your mailing address I'll be glad to send you my Lemon Calcet chews I ordered. I don't like them after all you've helped me thru...it would make me happy to donate them to you! Let me know! :)

Awwwwwwww thanks so much, but I don't like them anymore. I got some more samples, and they tasted funky now. I'm hooked on their regular Calcium chewables now.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
