Hello all. I was wondering, what brand of calcium is your favorite type to take?

I like both Bariatric Advantage chews and Calcet Creamy Bites, but they're both kind of pricy so I just have one (or the other) after dinner as my "dessert". For my earlier in the day doses, I take either generic tablets or mix a scoop of Upcal D (a powder) into some yogurt

I use Citrical primarily because it is inexpensive. This is hard in the beginning because it is horse pill size and one is unable to swallow it for the first few months after surgery. That means in the beginning it must be crushed and it taste like chalk.

Bariatric Advantage is, by far, the best tasting. chocolate tastes like a tootsie roll and lemon like starburst. They are expensive but I've got 3 packages that should take me through to the time I can take a horsepill.

They come in two different strengths: 250 & 500 mg. I have chocolate and lemon at 250 mg and orange at 500 mg. At 500 mg they're a little chalky but still not as bad as others I've tried.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. I'm going to look into the advantage brand as they sound the most tolerable.

Thank you for the link. I ordered a bag of chocolate for $14.50. That's reasonable.

Thanks for sharing the link!! That was very helpful.

I made the mistake of buying the Bariatric advantage sweet tarts. Yuck! They are huge and overly sweet but expensive.

Next time I will make sure I get the chocolate chews which I know are better tasting.
