I pushed "post" too quickly!! Sorry!! At Bariatric Advantage I am on the auto ship plan....they send it automatically however often I specify, and therefore I get free shipping. There are 60 chews in each bag, and I take 4 per day. (1000 mg total) I have them send 2 bags at 9.99 monthly. So it costs me $20 per month.

calcium citrate chewables are so expensive! I could spend $15 every two weeks to get in enough. I just don't like taking the non chewable horse pills, and have even tried the minis, yuck. They sit in my stomach like a clutch of rocks....I am now using Bariatric Advantage chewable tabs, they come in wild cherry, mint, cinnamon and chocolate. I am getting them in the large bottle, its a much better deal. Each tab is 500 mgs and I don't mind the taste, however they are very powdery and I would say exhale while eating or the dust gets in your lungs! I use cherry. Getting in 1000 a day adds up to about $12 a month. I think there are about 270 tabs in a bottle if I remember correctly....

I found a chewable fruity Calcium supplement at Target that also has Vitamin D. It is Target's brand and it cost approximately $7.50. I like the taste and the price. I take one twice a day.

if you are on a ppi, you have very little acid in the stomach, most calciums need acid to be absorbed... except citrate.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
