I get the chocolate truffle chews from Walmart....I think they are about 9 bucks a bag and you only have to chew 2 a day. They taste really good too.

I bought some calcium citrate petites... very small and I can swallow them... When I switched to Gummy vits, it made taking my other supplements easier.

I just take the regular cal citrate tablets from costco - my surgeon said it was fine this far out. Early on I took the petites as well - had to take a lot a day but it was much better than chewables or liquids . . . yuck!

Kaiser Fremont didn't make us take the Calcium the first two weeks post-op. After that, I was able to swallow the regular calcium citrate from costco. If you use the Petites, you need to take more of them. I think you take 8 petites a day or 6 regulars.

Before I could swallow whole pills I was using Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate Lozenges. Now I just bought a two pack bottle from costco for dirt cheap! Comparable to Citracal. One pill 2x per day should work, maybe 3 sometimes if I'm getting those darn leg cramps.

I saw this on a commercial just last night and thought I'd share... Citracal gummies. Wish I'd known about these a long time ago! I don't need them now but would've come in real handy just post-op.

      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.

      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.
