Chewable calcium citrate



Recommended Posts

Have you tried the Bariatric Advantage sugar free chewy bites? They are nothing like the big chewable chalk tablets the other brands have.

I think I get to graduate to them at my 6 week check up. I am only 3 weeks post op right now and my dr wants me to use the chewable. I can tolerate the chewable muti Vitamin with no problem but the calcium citrate is nasty. Can't wait till I can do the lozenges.

Oh hell yes! I got a bottle of the chocolate flavored Calcium chewable tablets. I think they are Bariatric Advantage. Disgusting!

And they have fake sugar in them. That stuff gives me Migraines. I did like the lemon calcium chew, but it's only like 150mg of calcium so I would have to eat 10 of them. I was never big on candy, and now I can't imagine how long it would take me to eat 10 of them, on top of all the other Vitamins and Protein shakes and meals. Insane.

I don't even know what to think about chocolate flavored. I have wild cherry and when I bite into it the taste goes up my nose and I just want to spit it out. I did try the lozenges that were a sample pack from my NUT (before I knew I was supposed to use them) and I can eat those all day long!

I use the caramel flavored ones from Bariatric Advantage - found at http://www.bariatricchoice.com/bariatric-advantage-calcium-citrate-chewy-bites-caramel.html

And they taste like candy. I usual end a small meal with one & it feels like I a

eating dessert! I highly recommend them!

How long has it been since your surgery and also what multi Vitamin are you using now?

That's funny! I have been thinking the same thing. I got the cinnamon chalky chewables from Bariatric Advantage, and as soon as they are finished I am definitely getting something else. The flavor DOES go right up your nose! I have to bite mine in half, chew it a little, then chase it with Water and repeat. At least we are getting our Vitamins, though!!

      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!!
