By the way, the calcium citrate should be a minimum of 3000, but most groups recommend 5000 a day with D3.

Why should the calcium citrate be a minimum of 3000 mg?  The ASMBS says 1500-2000 mg.  When you say most groups recommend 5000 mg a day, what are you basing that on?  I've never heard of any doc or dietician recommending that much.

Well it is what the group I am with recommends and we have people from many different practices at our support groups and virtually all of them say that.  Your amount sounds way too low.  Calcium is harder to absorb and you need more than 2x like you state.

1500-2000 mg is not "my amount," it is the amount of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.  I typically go by their recommendations, unless I find other research that appears more up-to-date.

Could you please point me toward the research that shows we need at least 3000 mg?

I'm not a doctor so if you're looking for medical research, you'll have to talk to the at least 15 surgeons and about 10 NUTs that are stating the 3k minimum in this area.  Their knowledge and actual experience is far superior to old research or statistical averages.  Personally, I am going with successful practices requirements and not a generic average.  How old is their research?  How do you know how they obtained their numbers and results?  Are they based on real findings of successful or unsuccessful patients?  Most bariatric groups still won't to laprascopic surgery on patients over 300 lbs even though in practice it is done all the time and almost always successfully.  Look at the Duke site, and they'll even tell you that you can't to laprascopic on patients over 300, but they're very wrong.  Sorry, but just because a group says this is the average, doesn't make it a good number or method to use.

LOL.  The ASMBS isn't just a group, it was started by surgeon to educate other surgeons, and most (INCLUDING YOURS) bariatric surgeons are members and have been educated by the ASMBS.
