There are MANY varieties of calcium citrate pills and capsules. Some are larger than others, but many people seem to use the Citracal Petites (they are shorter than other calcium pills but are just as big (if not slightly bigger) as the regular size. I personally use flexible capsules from the Vitamin Shoppe and Upcal D calcium citrate powder that dissolves in liquid (although you do have to re-stir if you don't drink it right away because some of it does not dissolve completely and will settle to the bottom.

I buy mine from VitaLady. It has 500 mg calcium citrate with vit D and magnesium oxide in a capsule. The capsule is easier to swallow than the pill. You will need to take 3-4 casules/day. (I need the mag oxide for constipation) I started taking them about 3 weeks post op and didn't have any pouch problems.

Go to some place like Walmart and get a generic. It will be cheaper. You can also buy citracal (the ones you swallow, not their gummies) but the generic is just as good and will save you money.

if you do citracal or the generic form don't do the petites. the regular size is a little bigger than a multi and i think its actually easier to swallow. plus its one less pill each dose! lol

I buy a liquid calcium citrate online from target.com. The brand name is Wellesse. My NUT suggested it to me and the dosing is a bit different than what the bottle says but its inexpensive and tastes like a fruity treat...
