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!

      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! 😞
