My bad. Sorry. No need to be rude. I thought Viactiv was calcium citrate. Citeacal IS calcium citrate, I looked it up, don't know if it has a chewable though, they have gummies.
Hi everyone,
I am 5 months into my journey and have not really moved the scale. Looking for ideas to help me loose my 10%.
Please help with some ideas.
Viactive is calcium citrate. You can get those at Walgreens for sure.
um,sorry,but no,the first ingredient for both flavored ,per the Viactive website,is calcium carbonate.
It's common that the sweet is too much after surgery, it usually gets better.
Also try lactose free milk like Fairlife. That may help, too.

I have changed the shakes from the ones i was taking before the surgery to the new ones after the surgery to a new one I bought today all used with skim milk. I still got very sick to the stomach to the point where i need to find something else non sweet. It seems to be related to sweetness. I had some chewable vitamins, made me sick, both sets and now the shakes, all sweet. ugg. Maybe it is sweet stuff my body cant tolerate anymore...?
have you tried a different shake? I had issues with really sweet shakes very early out, everything was too overpowering. Unjury sells a chicken soup flavored protein that it a little easier.
Are you using powdered protein or a premixed one. Before surgery I liked Premier Protein ready to drink, but couldn't handle it after surgery.
So far I like the taste of the Quest Protein powders. you can get single serving packs at GNC to try out their different flavors.
Also, if you're mixing your own, try with Almond milk instead of milk because we can become lactose intolerant after surgery.

Let me repost another way. How many proteon shakes do I have to suffer through each day?
Tried to drink 3 different protein shakes and i got sick. I dont know how i am going to get my protein in? Is there a different way?
Viactive is calcium citrate. You can get those at Walgreens for sure.

Up until now, I have been purchasing my calcium citrate chewables from the Bariatric Vitamin folks. Does anyone know if Wal-Mart, Target, or any other place sells this product? Thanks,
no, the chewable ones you buy in the store are calcium carbonate, not citrate.
