What's your calcium supplement?



Recommended Posts

Hiya! I bought three months' worth of Calcet Creamy Bites in lemon, because my nutritionist recommended them. I was told not to start taking them until a week after surgery, and now that I am (and recording them in my food diary), I'm wishing they were not so high in calories and carbs. They're delicious, though!!

What do you take? TIA!

I take Walgreens brand. They are called Creamies with Vitamin D. They are very yummy.

I take Bariatric Advantage chewies. You can get them in chocolate or Lemon flavors. I like the chocolate the best.

I have also taken TwinLab Calcium Citrate wafers before I discovered the Bariatric Advantage chewies. They are chalky and take some getting used to.

The calcet ones looked really good to me, but they contain dairy and I am lactose intolerant so didn't want to have to take a lactaid pill too just to be able to take my Calcium supplement.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
