No proof needed. I believe you. I am just shocked.

I take Bariatric Ad cherry cal cit lozenges 4 times a day.

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!

As a side note:
My nutritionist (as part of the bariatric clinic) told us in our nutrition class that either carbonate or citrate were fine. If we chose carbonate, we needed 2000mg. If we chose citrate we needed 1500mg. When I asked why they'd even recommend carbonate, I was told "Some people can't afford citrate." ..... I wrote a letter to the clinic director, backed up with proof from medical journals that citrate was the only thing that should be recommended for RNY'ers. Now, 10 months later, the only recommendation the nutritionists give is citrate.

Good job~ That's cool. I cannot believe that some Doc's reccomend Carbonate. I was sternly warned against depending on it. They told me I would end up in a wheelchair.

From the company...

Or from my surgeon. A *****eaper buying from the company, though. My multis are from the same company, and also chewable. They don't taste bad, but they ARE tart. And will wake your mouth up in the morning!
