I was really hoping to find a local source of chewable calcium citrate but I wasn't successful. Most everything was carbonate and the only citrate I could find was in a caplet. I found a liquid citrate in Fred Meyer - it's like drinking chalk .. so I am awaiting for my BA order. I had to cave to on-line ordering but I will keep looking. If any fellow Canadians know of a source, please let me know.

They are the one thing I dread every day. I got some chewable calcium citrate from the vitamine shop and didn't realize until after surgery that I would have to take four of them to meet my 1000mg requirement. They are like eating citrus flavored chalk. The glass bottle broke on the way home at Christmas, and I didn't want to chance swallowing a sliver of glass on them, so I got to throw them all away. Hooray! Now I am trying the Bariatric Advantage samples I got from the doc. The flavors are horrid, and still chewy chalk. At least I only have to take two of them. I tried a choc chew from Bariatric Advantage, and it wasn't too bad, but then it is back to 4 a day. It still tasted chalky. I would rather just swallow a pill, but everything I read says that it absorbs better in chewable or liquid. Sigh. Any chances that there is something out there that isn't chalky?

I have to take 6 chewables a day so feel lucky. I just got some samples today from my doctor, bariatric advantage. I tried rasberry and it wasn't bad at all.

I take the Celebrate calcium citrate Plus 500. 2 chewables per day. I like the taste and texture. I have the berries and cream flavor. I used to like the lemon Calcet chewy things, but they lost their luster.

For me, the Celebrate work perfectly, it's a measily 2 chewables, they dissolve quickly, and don't taste like chalk to me. The cherry flavor and berries flavors are my favorite.

I also take their Mulit-Vitamin with Iron, YUMMY. Again, just 2 chewables per day. I take 1 Calcium wait a couple of hours, take another mid morning/early afternoon. And, I take my multi at night after dinner.

You just have to make sure that your calcium and mulit with Iron are not taken within 2 hours of each other since the iron prevents the calcium from being properly absorbed.

I cancelled my order of the Calcet lemon chews just because I wanted to save money for clothes LOL.

I ordered the Twinlab capsules from vitacost.com It's 125 doses for around 9 bucks.

Tiffy,

If you'll give me your mailing address I'll be glad to send you my Lemon Calcet chews I ordered. I don't like them after all you've helped me thru...it would make me happy to donate them to you! Let me know! :)

Awwwwwwww thanks so much, but I don't like them anymore. I got some more samples, and they tasted funky now. I'm hooked on their regular Calcium chewables now.

      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.
