Hello Everybody........................ I'm getting prepared for my surgery on April 5th............. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

I was wondering does anyone else use UPCalD? It says that it's tasteless and you can put it in anything..... what are your thoughts?

I've never heard of UPCalD. I use Citrical Petites; before that I used Celebrate lemon square chewables, and before that I used some blueberry-flavored liquid I found at costco. What's UpCalD and where do you get it?

Well so far I've seen it only online. They have it everywhere online and it's a powder form of calcium citrate. Let me ask, are the petites smaller then the regular ones? Why did you stop using the liquid kind?

I don't know how big the regular ones are, but the petites are still a pretty big pill, so I'm guessing the regular ones are huge. I stopped using the liquid after I moved on to solid food and had finished off the bottle. I travel for work fairly regularly and the bottle has to be refrigerated so it was a nuisance. I liked the Celebrate but they are expensive and have a lot of carbs in them.

I have always had trouble swallowing the Calcium tabs pre-op. I got me some of the powdered Multivitamin with calcium in it through Bariatric Advantage. Has a fruity taste. Just mix in on in with my chrystal light. Just be sure to stir every so often. The calcium powders tend to settle to the bottom. Sleeve feels so much better taking the Vitamins in with my Fluid intake through the day. Otherwise I'm full to the gills taking the vitamin/supplement pills!

Lisaenidok............. What's the name of the multivitamin that you are taking and does it have Vitamin D?

Dimples509...........I get the Wild berry Punch Chrystals from Bariatric Advantage. It's a complete Multiformula with Calcium. Just mix in one little scoop with your fluids twice a day and you're good. The formulation does include Vitamin D. I'm just having to take additional vitamin D because I was super low even before surgery. Oh almost forgot, my doctor has us all do weekly sublingual B-12. Well this formula contains the higher dose that we need after surgery. It's a great product all around.
