Sorry this must have been asked a gaziilion times.. But i need Help! These Calcium horsepills are too big! I choke/gag everytime I drink them. I saw calcium citrate with Vitamin D Petites- are they really small enough to swallow??? Do they have good taste? Anything else out there that is not too horrible? The creamy chews sounds good, but are too expensive because Md said 1500mg/day total. I never took anything and now i have cocktail of Vitamins ;( I'm really having a hard time with this. Thanks!

Hi just Fyi- I emailed the company and they're sending me free samples to try that's nice! That I can try before buying it

I'm 4 weeks post op Preop- 200 Day of surgery 190 Now 176- and it has been 176 for long time I am noticing inches coming off...but scale is stuck. Fitness pal calories 400-500 average. MD is okay with 40oz minimum coz I get nauseated when I force fluids. Protein ia a hit and miss, but at least 40 grams with one isupure a day. On a good day additional 30 grams with Protein shake. I'll just stay patient, but it's nice if I can see the darn scale move

I can check that out.. What's the name? Thanks!

Ok so one bag lasts 10 days, which means I have to get 4bags/month. Okay, will have to give it a shot. Too bad it's so expensive but it seems there's no other calcium citrate out there that's small. The "pettite" might not even be pettite enough and the gummies are not recommended by nutritionist. Thanks!

How many do you take a day?

Hi there, just curious if you go home... Who will manage the wound? Dressing changes? Are they going to send someone like a visiting Rn? I hope they have a plan about it coz the wound needs a lot of cleaning and caring for. You're in pain and recovering so I hope they don't expect ou to do that ... Get well soon and hope this ordeal will end soon. hUgS!

Love Zumba wii! You can adjust your pace with it, beginner, intermediate and expert level down the road. You can burn lots of calories and I even wear a 2lb wrist weight thingy to help tone my arms. . Plus you can do it at home which is such a big plus

You're not alone.. I'm 17 days post op. I'm noticing too that my sleep pattern is not the same, can't sleep through the night ;( I keep waking up almost every 2 hoursand, and by 4 am can't go back to sleep anymore. It's so not me ;(

Hi amyrn09! Yay for Icu nurses! I am an Icu nurse too and yes! She needs to advocate for herself because everyone seems to be lost and confused with her medical care ;(

When they change the dressing, I can imagine how painful it will be. Make sure you get something for pain, it's not right to let you be miserable when they do the dressing change. Ask for pain meds okay. Get well soon!

Thanks for the update! Yes, they need to put you on heavy antibiotics, and monitor that wound. and make sure whoever takes care of you wash their hands pretty good, coz you don't want any more infection from people in the hospital. Sending you happy and get well thoughts! Hang in there!

Oh my goodness, it's better to be admitted and be given antibiotics. They can monitor your infection better, I am so sorry to hear this. Get well soon, and hoping you feel better. Hang in there!

Hi! Just want to know which brand you are using for the cocoa butter. thanks!
