Had my surgery on Tuesday, home yesterday. Doing remarkably well, thanks be to God. I had decided (why I can't recall) to go with powdered Calcium Citrate rather than chew-ables-----BIG mistake--it would be fine if I could drink 1/2 cup of Water in one mouthful but not good with just little sips. Wondering what chew-able calcium supplement people are using and liking. I need to either order them on line or get out and get them because I won't be able to continue with the powder. Thanks!

I love the Viactive caramel chews.

I ordered chewable a through vitacost and they are awful. I can't stand them. So I'm using cirltrical petites.

Disclaimer - I have not used these myself but everyone I know who has used them has said they love them. Chocolate peanut butter chewy bites from Bariatric Advantage:

If those don't appeal to you, their lemon and caramel chews also get high marks in general from what I have seen. Good luck!

I got the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews - Lemon. Remind me of a starburst. Very good.

I use the bariatric advantage caramel chewy bites and really like them. Almost like a treat three times a day. I have heard the new lemon ones are really good and taste like a Starburst. I tried the chocolate peanut butter ones and didn't care for them. They had a funny smell.

I'm using the Viactiv Calcium plus D Soft Chews. The chocolate ones taste just like my Premier Protein shakes.

I ordered the bariatric advantage caramel chews and they taste like coffee

I hate coffee!

I got the Kirkland sugar-free chocolate calcium chews from Costco and they're not bad at all. Not too fake-tasting or sweet. I actually enjoy them as a little treat. And the price is good.

I've tried all of the bariatric advantage chew flavors. I liked them all but my favorites are the chocolate peanut butter and the caramel.

Mix your powder in a protein shake or yogurt or cottage cheese. I was taking capsules and I just opened them and sprinkled them in my protein shake or Greek yogurt. They had no taste.

I was allowed to have chewable/liquid/chewy vitamins starting 5 days post op

Bariatric advantage caramel chewables- started them on day 4 post op after clearing it with nut. They're quite tasty and it's nice to have something to chew.

I hate chewables. Have tried chewable from brands like BA and Caltrate but they all seemed to make me nauseous. I had no idea why they were causing nausea and upon research I found that these chewables contained harmful fillers like Ethyl/Hydroxy Propyl Cellulose, Silicon/Titanium Dioxide etc that caused the symptoms. I immediately changed to capsules from vita4life upon my nuts recommendation. I take 1200mg calcium in a dosage of 4 capsules and have had no complaints. You can get them off Amazon or their website.

I take 1 tums sometimes 2 a day for calcium support.im 5 days post op!
