Calcium Nitrate Liquid (How much should I be taking?)



Recommended Posts

Good Morning! I haven't been taking my Calcium for quite a while now and my hair has started to fall out (thank goodness I have a lot of it!) I have bought the calcium nitrate liquid and am wondering if one of you can tell me how much I am supposed to be taking. Thanks so much!!

Please ask your doc about this and be careful of peoples advice here. Calcium is what is in arterial plaques that cause heart attacks so there are new recommendations for calcium supplementation which every woman used to be encouraged to take for bone density...you are gorgeous and have amazing hair but your heart is more important! Good luck...

Great advice, I'll give the office a call to see what they recommend. They always talk me into going to classes and support groups and everything else so I hate to call!!! I know, that's not a bad thing but I'm kind of busy now and feel guilty when I say not to those suggestions.

Have a great week,

Siobhan

Forgot to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your kind compliments!

Your Hair loss has nothing to do with Calcium. It's your body's reaction to the rapid weight loss. Once your body adjusts, your hair will grow back. It happens to most of us. Make sure you are getting enough Protein and taking a good Multivitamin.< /span>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
