what type of calcium do you take?

[AMLP 4]

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.

At one month I was able to swallow pills really well so I just bought calcium citrate at Walmart. I got 500 of them for 6 dollars.

I will continue to order my Vitamins from Celebrate or Bariatric Advantage, but for Calcium, Iron and b-12 I am going generic.

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.
