what type of calcium do you take?

HI,

I am trying to find a calcium supplement you do not have to divide into three or more doses a day if possible. I have tried Celebrate berries and cream chewables and did not like them. I can swallow pills, even large one no problems, I just want to make sure I am taking the right kind so I am looking for everyone to please tell me what type of calcium you are taking and at what dosage.

Thank you to everyone who responds.

once you have your surgery there is a Calcium Citrate that you can buy at MEDCO store an online drug store

where I get my medications from has it in a liquid form and it has a fruit flavor to it...check it out and make sure its what the nutritionist say you can take...

I purchased a liquid Calcium Citrate from Swanson (which advertises on this site) and we have taken many of their vitamins in the past. I tasted it on my finger at first and it has a super strong, lemony flavor. I knew I couldn't stand it straight, so I mixed it with some water and even a little sugar, as it was very sour, and drank a small amount. Immediately it felt like it was burning my stomach! It scared me.

The directions say you can mix it with your juice, but now I'm a little afraid of what it will do to my stomach at 21 days after surgery.

So, bottom line I would be careful of this product.

I use the celebrate calcium plus 500 (3x daily). I like the cherry tart flavor. The bariatric advantage chocolate chews are good but only 250 gms so have to take 6 a day.
