Where are you getting the caramel Bariatric chews? They have been out of stock at Bariatric website.

I order the Calcium Citrate Chewy Bites, 500mg, Caramel Flavored, from Bariatric Choice.

I find all my vitamins on a site called LuckyVitamins.com....... the calcium citrate is orange flavor wafers chewable and they taste pretty good and are priced fairly ggod compared to what Ive seen. Give them a try. Good luck.

How are you all affording all this calcium from Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate,etc? Since RNY people are supposed to have 1500mg per day thats 3 of them a day of the 500mg,some are only 250mg. And with only 30 in a bag thats less than 15 days for like almost $30. Is there some type of program to help offset the cost?

From my source, I get the 500 mg Bariatric Advantage 90 count for less than $32 a bag. That's 30 days worth. And I LOVE the tropical orange!

Even cheaper if you get 3 bags at a time. And free shipping.

Google KAL calcium citrate Chewable Mixed Fruit Supplement, 500 mg, 60 Count and it will come up on Amazon.com This is the cheapest I have found and my doc is impressed with my calcium and proten level. I was told to ONLY use chewable for the best absortion. I take 3 a day at least 2 hours apart and 2 hours from multi vit (Flintstones Complete recomended by my doc}. These calcium are $8.99 for 60 so that is 20 days worth. Haven't found anything cheaper anywhere and they do NOT sell chewable citrate inywhere locally. I order 4 bottles at a time and shipping is free.

I also drink 2 premade Premier Protein shakes a day that I get at Sam's club. The chocolate ones taste very similar to Yahoo chocolate drinks. they are a little pricey but since I eat so little I can afford them and they are obviously doing the trick. I am 7 months out and ALL my health issues, except for arthritis, have disappeared.
