Calcium HELP- almost choked on it



Recommended Posts

Sorry this must have been asked a gaziilion times.. But i need Help! These Calcium horsepills are too big! I choke/gag everytime I drink them.

I saw calcium citrate with Vitamin D Petites- are they really small enough to swallow??? Do they have good taste? Anything else out there that is not too horrible?

The creamy chews sounds good, but are too expensive because Md said 1500mg/day total.

I never took anything and now i have cocktail of Vitamins ;( I'm really having a hard time with this.

Thanks!

I have the Citracal Petites and I would not call them petite. Here are some photos for reference. They are odd-shaped and quite thick.

I can find Calcium carbonate chewables but not calcium citrate that my NUT recommended. Plus, I am not a fan of all the carbs in gummies/chewables. I am still searching!

The calcium citrate in chewable form are almost impossible to find! You have to order them online at bariatric specialty sites.

It seems like all the gummies have sucrose/sucralose as the first ingredient. Anyone found one that's sugar-free?

Thanks! I just ordered the caramel from Amazon. I have prime so it was free 2-day shipping, versus $8 shipping from Celebrate.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
