I am new to this been working at getting all of my pre-op appts done. I saw the nutritionist and she recommended me taking calcium citrate chewable vitamins not gummies or tablets. I am having trouble trying to find calcium citrate all I am finding is calcium carbonate.... Please help thanks.

Here are a couple I found for you...

@@katielynne83 These are wafer, if you can't have wafers, tablets, or gummies, then I don't know what the heck you would have left to choose from that's chewable?

i use cal chewables you can get online or in person at the Vitamin shoppe, they are like caramels, chewable and gone. gotta love em.

I get my calcium citrate chewables from Vitamin Shoppe. The brand says Bariatric Support by Twin Labs. Btw, it took me forever to locate calcium citrate...99% of the ones I found in other stores were not calcium citrate.

Thank you everyone my friends that had this done told me they take these Viactiv chewable but they are carbonate... I guess I'm going have to order online I will try to stop at Walgreen's after work and see if they have them in store.

What is the difference between carbonate and citrate?

Citrite absorbs better in bariatric surgery patients than carbonate.
