Baratric Advantage is my go to. I like the chewy strawberry and orange flavors. I've also bought the chewable tablet ones in cherry and although those ones are a little chalky I still like them.

I've never experienced nausea from calcium supplements, but if the soft chews aren't working for you, you could try BariMelts. They have a sample pack for $5.95 that includes calcium (among other things), so you can see if you like it before you buy a whole bottle. I took those for the first 6 weeks after surgery and they're not bad (though I now take BariatricPal French Vanilla Caramel soft chews and much prefer them). They are very large and you have to take 6 per day. They melt in your mouth, and you don't need water, but I prefer to drink water while they're in my mouth to make them dissolve faster.

I have a bag of soft chew carmel from them. I will try one of those tomorrow to see if it makes me sick too. I did see the cherry ones on the website that you are talking about. I am not sure if its a soft chew tolerance problem or a calcium tolerance problem yet. I am supposed to be getting a sample kit from BA already. The vitamins are just so pricy to end up with a batch that makes you sick ?

I did Bariatric Advantage chews for years but now just take calcium citrate tablets.
