I'm having a hard time getting in three calcium citrate chewables a day. If I'm lucky I get in two.i believe it's because of the two hours I have to space it between my Multivitamin. I'm concerned about the long term effects this could have on my body. Any suggestions?

Take a higher dosage and only take two like me:) I use Bariatric Advantage and the Carmel is like eating candy! The coconut is good too. Ordering other Flavors today and they have sample packs you can order. I only do the chews not chewable chalky tasting stuff makes it more tolerable.

The Vitamin sch can get confusing!! I take two Multivitamins in morning. Then 2 cal citrate and d (in same tablet) at lunch and then 2 again before bed. This seems to work well for me my blood tests since doing this are good. I don't need B12 but most people would need to take a dissolvable table of 1000 every other day.

Are you spacing each of them out every 2 hours? I too take my two Multi Vitamins in the AM but not both one at 9AM then the next at 11AM followed by same guidelines for lunch and dinner with Calcium and Iron.< br>

I have the Bariatric Advantage chews in orange. I don't like them. I recently got their cinnamon flavored chewables. I like those much better.
Can I take two in the morning and then one at night? Do they HAVE to be split throughout the day?. I think if I could do two together I could get them all in.

Are they the chewy bites vs chewables? In the chewy bites I have tried the dark cherry, strawberry watermelon, and Carmel are great! The coconut was decent but not as good as the above. I was told you can't take 2 at the same time because your body only has capacity to absorb one at a time which is why they say take one every 2 hours.

OK
Yes they are the chewy ones. I don't like them because it feels like it takes me forever to chew them down and I don't care for the taste it leaves in my mouth.

I would suggest telling them that and sending them back for a replacement to at least try another flavor. Never had this problem perhaps because I haven't tried the orange:)

I ended up going with the Upcal dissolving Calcium powder, I was a little hesitant at first but glad I did because you really do not notice it at all! It's a very fine tasteless powder and I put a scoop in my Protein Shake, mix into yogurt and even in Water and you cannot tell it's there. I don't like the chewy stuff that gets stuck in your teeth so this works for me

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
