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

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

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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
