citrical calcium citrate petites
I take them everyday. Somedays if I don't drink some before I take them they do get stuck but not often. Remember that 2 petites is a dose.

I take 3 at a time. 2 only adds up to 400mg and cutting one in half to get 500mg is harder to swallow with the sharp edges so I do a total of 600mg 3 times a day. I began taking them at 6 weeks out. I do have to take them right before I begin drinking again because I do have to sip sip sip to work them through. If I don't drink enough after taking them I feel like I have heartburn.

lol I hated the chewables so I ALWAYS forgot to take them, too. Once I could switch to pills, I havent had an issue because I dont dread them. I started taking the citricals at 3 months and started by cutting them in half just to make sure I could handle them. Then after about a week I started taking the whole pills and no problems...
I started taking them after my doc cleared me at my two week checkup. I HATE them, though and they always feel like they are getting stuck. Especially because 2 of them are a serving and equal 400 mg. That means you have to take 10 of them each day to get the 2,000 mg that my doc wants. YECH! I just ordered some 500mg lozenges from vitalady so am hoping that will help until I'm better able to swallow.
Good luck!
