I am looking for the same answer.

I use Viactive and really like the Caramel flavor. 2 a day.

I buy my chewy gummy vitamins at Costco. Multi and calcium.

You found gummy calcium citrate at Costco?

The chews I found at costco were calcium carbonate. Viactive is calcium carbonate.. I have not found any other chews or gummies other than bariatric specific chews available online that were calcium citrate. (vitafusion gummies are not calcium citrate)

I am taking citrical petites and puritain's pride minis... they are smaller in size.. I take six per day spread out throughout the day... ALSO, you don't have to do the chews if you don't want to , Bariatric Advantage makes wafers in many flavors that are a lot cheaper and have fewer calories than the chews.

I like Calcet - you can get them online. They come in chocolate (YUMMY!!!) and lemon (haven't tried yet - but heard they're good). I've also tried the caramel ones from Bariatric Advantage, but I like the Calcet ones better. At the moment, though, I'm using Wellesse liquid - it's creamsicle flavored. Got a free sample and a couple of bottles with coupons so I'm going to use those until it runs out.

I or my lab work show no signs or reason to require me to take calcium citrate over the vitafusion I'm currently taking. I don't have an absorption issue so I feel good with what taking ATM. Like said.. Follow docs orders

I take Bariatric Advantage-brand calcium citrate chewy bites...4 a day (250 mg each).

I take Caltrate Calcium & Vitamin D Chewables 2x a day.

I am having trouble swallowing those chews even when I break it down.

I chew Tums...well, the cheap store version. Packed with calcium.

My NUT is very big on making sure it is calcium citrate. I couldn't tolerate the chalky chewables so she said to get the citracal with D3 gummies. They are pink, purple and orange. I take two twice a day. It's only for a few weeks til I can tolerate the pills again.

At first I was worried about the carbs in them but she assured me that it won't affect anything!

I second the BA chews, especially caramel. They are yummy little treats 3 x a day (6 total). At 6 month, my calcium levels were dead on mid range. I have 9 month checkup next week and will see if I need to keep taking. I am a total addict to them now though and am not sure I could give them up. Lol.
