Month four still can't swallow calcium petites they are small but fat. I can finally swallow my Multi because they are smaller but I did have a problem forever. I would like to take pills for the Calcium but I hate cutting them because they still get stuck. Are there any other ones I can take that are not chewable and are not real big.

Citrical Petites are the smallest ones I have found. The only other option that I know of is chewables.

 “Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

No, that's not the only other option.  There are liquids and there are powders, like Upcal D.

...not sure why you aren't interested in chewables, but I like the B-Advantage caramel-flavored 500 mg chewables... "candy" I look forward to.

Can't speak for the OP, but for me I was reluctant to buy the chewables because they were considerably more expensive. It wasn't until I almost choked on one of my petites that I broke down and paid $38 for a bag of Bariatric Advantage chews.

I buy the Bariatric Advantage Calcium chews every month and I don't fret about the cost because I know I spent that much on crappy food before and I might as well enjoy my vitamins.  

 

Come keep it real in R&R 3.0 Want an invite? PM me here.

I have to agree with this. After all these years, MY health is the priority here.  I'd rather buy the expensive things that I know will work than play with trial and error for several months.

I also had my Dr fill out a statement of medical necessity that says my vitamin, calcium and iron (I have to have an additional supplement since I was anaemic pre-op.  He was happy to. Although they didn't fuss about the ones I bought from him directly-he had a sale on Calcium Citrate tablets so I bought a few bottles so  I wonder if they really needed it, but I figure better safe than sorry.

If you ever tried the Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate chews you would love them.  It's like a piece of caramel.

I'll probably get them next time.  At my pre-op class we got a nice sample pack of various Bariatric Advantage products. They're pretty good!!
