I just looked these up out of curiosity--the labels say they're 200mg per tablet. My NUT says she wants me on 1500mg (?!) a day, and I have to take them no more than 500mg at a time, 2 hours away from taking my Multivitamin. How many mg of Calcium are you ladies taking--is it 1500, too? That would come out to 7 or 8 tablets a day, four times daily. *brainboggle* I just know I'd forget a dose...

I am supposed to take 1500 mg a day, split into three 500 mg doses and taken separate from my multivitamin. I've never really been on a daily medication, so I'm struggling to remember it all.

Suit yourselve no one is forcing you to use better eco-friendly products for your body and life. Ungrateful and uneducated you are stef

Please don't ever post a link to your Amway URL. This is totally against our posted terms of service you agreed to upon signup (NO ADVERTISING ALLOWED!!!)

Wow...not a friendly group of people to newcomers. I was just merely trying to help. How is this any different from people posting ideas on what has worked for them? Unbelievable!

I guess the only advertising that is allowed is the one where you tell people what brand of food or Vitamin your taking? That sounds like advertisement for that company doesn't not? Sounds like the same thing. That is why some people just keep their success to themselves other are to uneducated and ungrateful to appreciate them. Btw a personal message advising me of this would have been more than sufficient. Thank you

I went to GNC, costco, and Walgreens to find chewable or liquid calcium citrate and I'm totally confused. There are so many versions out there, but I could only find cal citrate in pill form. Does anyone have any suggestions on a brand and/or where to buy it?

Bariatric Advantage, this is where I get my Calcium citrate. I take four per day, 250 mg each. Two chews at a time, but you need to do the other two a couple of hours later. Usually do two before noon and the other two later in the day. I like the chocolate, like eating four Tootsie Rolls every day. They ship me two bags on a regular basis. If you are on auto re-fill, shipping is free.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't need the chewables ... I tend to treat them like candy, anyway. Time to take big peoples stuff now.

Do we HAVE to have Calcium in Citrate form? I just read that citracal petites are in 'element' form. Is that the same as citrate form? :unsure:

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
