I think I have to buy them from the dr office for their prices.... At least pre-op :P not that I am wanting to go against dr orders but I'll shop where I want after the fact. This is all just a game until insurance accepts and the deed is done.

I buy the BA chews off Amazon too, but they are actually 5 dollars cheaper from the WLS Center I belong to and no shipping costs.

The problem is that the WLS Center is not open on the weekend when the support group meets and it is an hour for me to drive there otherwise. I suppose the cost of gas would balance everything out so will just keep ordering on Amazon.

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.

/They are the best!! I only do 2 a day but they are like my candy. Its a treat to have them!

I use Zija Moringa Supermix instead of taking vitamins' date=' Calcium, and B12. It's all natural and as far as calcium goes it's has 4 times (gram for gram) the amount of calcium that's in milk. It's also has many other benefits, like I stopped losing my hair just 2 wks after starting it and I'm only on 1 out of 15 medications (most were for anti-flammatory reasons, ie, asthma, fibromyalgia, planar fasiitis, and more) since starting it. It's awesome. I highly recommend it.

Hi, do you have to buy these online or are they in stores? Does it come in liquid form?

Thanks

There are several options, but purchasing it through the distributor is the cheapest because you can get it at wholesale cost that way. :)

Sure - why not? We took them as soon as we could following surgery.

I ordered Bariatric Advantage chewable. I thought I was getting the chewy ones, caramel is really good, but what I got was chocolate flavored chewables, which taste chalky.

I also take the Twin Labs Bariatric calcium citrate. They are chewable wafers that I break in half and take twice a day since our bodies can only absorb so much Calcium at a time.

I just bought the Bariatric Advantage Cherry calcium citrate tablets. They are super sweet for my taste. Can anyone recommend another flavor by BA that they like?

Definately look into BA Caramel calcium citrate. It is the best!! Disclaimer : my own opinion of course. I just loaded up on 4 bags a couple days ago because it was only 11 at my WLS Center where it is 17 for me to order online through my Amazon distributor (plus shipping).

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
