  • Right now I'm using bariatric advantage chews, the 500 Mg variety 3x per day. Tropical orange has become my favorite. Caramel is good, but a bit too sweet for me. They have 4g carbs in each chew/1 g s

Be aware that when you purchase any chews that they are calcium citrate. Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate Vitamins offer some great tasting chews with some really yummy flavors. I have sampled all of them and they are delicious!!! Many stores like Walmart and Walgreens offer the calcium chews but they have Calcium Carbonate which can cause your pouch to swell and cause gas, plus it doesn't absorb. Read your packages and make sure you are getting what your body needs, otherwise you are throwing money away.

I use the Bariatric advantage 250 mg and chew 5 a day.

I also got another brand that was Dark Chocolate and only had to/got to eat three of those!

I prefer capsules or tablets because I can’t STAND the flavor of chewables. I also don’t like the way they make me feel. The fillers make me feel sick and make me sweat. I go with Vita4Life and I love them. I’ve never had an issue with them and have been taking them for years. It’s the best calcium on the market IMO. One container lasts 2 months. http://vita4life.net/products/bariatric-vitamins-calcium-malate-chelate-support.html

I got the chewables off Amazon. My NUT told me to mix them with my protein shakes. That was the best idea ever because they are horrible to chew. They are also super reasonable compared to the others that were recommended.
