It does.. The bottle says 1 tsp... But l dont know if thats the dosage that the Dr wants me to have!! Im very new to this.. Lol

No problem. That's why you are here. Let me explain what I mean. I take calcium citrate petite tablets. On the back of the bottle, it lists how much Vit D and Calcium are in two tablets (serving size). There is 400 mg of calcium in two tablets. Therefore, you would have to take 2 tablets each day to get as close to your doctor's suggested 600 mg. My NUT says 400 is close enough for me. Look for that information, and that should give you your answer. I hope you are recovering well.

Thank you TMeyers :).. Uts all making sense to me now.. My surgery was tuesday, l came home last nite.. My recovery so far is goin good.. Im still sore inside, but the liquid loritab is nice.. Im still weak, but lm sure its to be expected.. On a good note, l was finally able to fart today lol

Just so your prepared, the weakness will hang on for a while. Don't panic. My surgeon said your body will take every ounce of protein you consume to "heal a wound," which will leave you feeling fatigued for quite some time. Rest up and don't over-do anything. Some days will be better than others. You farted?!?! This is GREAT news!!!! hahahahahahahahahahaha. I thought my nurses were going to throw a party for me the first time I passed gas in the hospital. lol :tongue2:
