Need new Calcium

Ya'll.. help me out here... What kind of calcium do you take? IE) Name of Pill Brand I've been takeing the Citracal w/Vit D minis... they are like rocks... and I just can't take it.. I need to find a smaller, softer, chewable.. some alternative to these rocks... Ideas? I'm taking 800 IU a day but only need 500.. the mini's only come in 400 so I figure 2 is better than 1.

Hi, I am taking the bariatric advantage wild cherry flavor and my friend is taking the chocolate flavor. You can order a sample pack of vitamins for either Gastric or Band and taste the different flavors. They good, it like a sweetart. Good Luck! Rita

Good pm Amanda! I am currently taking Caltrate 600+D Plus Minerals Chewables. These are suggested by my WLS surgeon's office and teh flavors are Cherry, Orange & Fruit Punch. They don't taste 1/2 bad just kind of chalky but I can deal if I drink something with them. I find them at Walmart and they are not that expensive either. I take 2 per day!

Call me .. I will tell you where to get them !

I take the Citrical minis, but I've tried the Oasis Tropical (ugh!) and the bariatric advantage.  You can get them at bariatriceating.com in a combo kit type thing.....

any bad experiences with the oasis tropical? (other than ugh! HA HA)  I bought it over a month ago but once I got the shpment and read the bottle I wasn't sure if the sugar in it would cause dumping, so I've been scared to try the stuff.

The Bariatric Advantage ones are great and come in different flavors - I love the mint - it is like eating a candy! You can by them from www.bariatricadvantage.com or other web sies like it... Jackie

Jackie, how many mg of calcium is in each chew?  Also is there any added Vit D?  I've been interested in them since I got a sample a while back.

Hi Lauren, There are 400mg in each chew plus Vit D - I have been taking them since the beginning  Jackie

I am struggling wth protein drinks right now.   I am almost 2 weeks out but I am to the point where I am getting worked up when it is time to drink them.  Today, I tried putting SF pudding into the smoothie maker along with the milk and protein and NOPE cannot do.   I went to the GNC store, bought 1 bottle of some sort of grape stuff in Isopure, and will crush later some ice and try that.  I hate milk and mixing that with protein......---please tell me how to survive this for the next few weeks until able to eat enough to slack off them some.   I am on full liquids until Tues.   HELP!!! lol.......thank you
