Bariatric Advantage also has raspberry & lemon & caramel chews I just had all 3 & they are really good!!

Bariatric advantage also has lemon flavored chewy bites. They taste like lemon starburst. You can find them on amazon.

WHY do we need 'calcium Citrate"?

Calcium is good for your bones and helps to prevent osteoarthritis. Secondly, vitamin d is a crucial vitamin that many of us are low on. calcium helps to absorb Vit d into the body.

Found this online, it explains it better than I could:

"The main form of calcium supplements are calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. Both are well-absorbed by gastric bypass patients, although those with decreased stomach acid will absorb calcium citrate more comfortably. Calcium combined with citrate is the top quality compound for maximum absorption of calcium."

I love the bariatric advantage caramel chews.. they are like my candy 2 x a day lol :)

Thank you very much great explanation!!

I am having a hard time finding anything locally. I did find gummies, but was told not to get gummy ones at all. I wonder if the chewy bites are ok as they aren't gummy but not chewable tablets either.

I am having a terrible time getting my Calcium in. I have some of the powder form that a friend gave me. But I keep forgetting to take it!

That is what I use. But I keep forgetting to add the powder to my Protein shakes or Jello. LOL

Another example of how much our taste differ. I like the peanut butter flavor but have since changed to caramel. Yum, yum

Our taste does change immensely after surgery and it differs individually. I cannot tolerate the chocolate calcium chews and I would forget powders as well so I purchased Caltrate minis. Easy to swallow and smaller pill I can take with other vitamins.
