Can anyone suggest a calcium citrate with calcium and magnesium? I'm having trouble finding one. I have trouble with chewables, so I've been cutting up my mutlivitamin and swallowing it like that. But the calcium citrate i can't find.

I use vitacost.

Puritans Pride has a bunch of options, pill and liquid form. http://www.puritan.com/calcium-magnesium-169?filter=&Mcid=&Page=0&sortOrder=2#tab=tab-1

I was looking for the same thing and I ended up going with the vitacost - more pills compared to the twinlab 120 vs 60 and they were cheaper. I read the reviews and people seemed to like the vitacost taste better too. The only thing that was better about the twinlab brand was the abount of vitamin D. I was told I need 5,000 IU of vitamin D per day. I'm trying to combine as many pills so that i won't be taking as many, but even with the multivitamin and the calcium having vitamin D - I might still need an additional supplement. Taking all of these pills is going to be tough! Gotta go - I only have 25 minutes until I start my clear liquid pre op diet!!!

Is Caltrate 600 + D acceptable?

I'm just in the beginning stages.

Thanks for any info you can offer

That's what I use but I'd never seen the other things mentioned here. I'll have to look into them. I split the pill into 1/4 then just swallow it. My doc said I didn't need to completely crush pills as long as they aren't the big horse pills. I also use 2 Flintstones chewable Vitamins / day. A lot cheaper than the ones at the bariatric supply places and they seem to have the same vitamins. Remember to keep Iron in multi-vitamins 2-hours away from calcium and milk. Just learned that one from my NUT.

NO!!! VSG Patients need calcium citrate... Caltrate doesnt have this... Caltrate has Calcium Carbonate which VSG patients do not absorb well.

Thank you for the info

Yes! Listen to Vogue...you need citrate.

That's what I'm taking.

Thanks again
