Today is my second day of taking calcium pills and my second day of vomitting. I am thinking I am going to have to take something different but what? Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions?

P.S first day of Optifast and going good except the calcium pills.

I too had a bit of a hard time. I had to switch to liquid calcium.
I found it a shoppers. It may help, keep it cold. It goes down pretty good.

 lots of calcium options, Citracal makes petite caplets, there are liquids, there are also chewables- hard chalky ones or soft chews(watch their sugars though)
pure nature carries lots of different brands but so does shoppers

glad to hear that optifast is staying down..can you crush the calcium and add it to your optifast and whip it up with some SF flavoured syrups?

 Since you are pre surgery why don't you start by taking half doses?One pill and work up to the second one.

Double check with your nutritionist. I was told no vitamins and supplements during the optifast stage.

Post-surgery I took liquid Calcium Citrate (from Costco).

About 3 months out I switched to Calcium Citrate pills. Difficult a few days but now no issues.


Before the surgery I kept putting things off. I was never good enough. One of the benefits of WLS is that you start to believe in yourself. Check out my blog:
