Does Your Calcium Citrate Chew ...?



Recommended Posts

Give you a sour after taste about 1 hour after taking it. I like them, but I have noticed this. I have tried the petite calcium citrate tablets but 6 tablets a day was a lot to me and I reflux the tabs badly. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this...or is it just weirdo me??!! Oh and I am currently taking Baritric Advantage calcium chews ..anybody else have a different recommendation? Brand? Ect? Thanks in advance!

No, actually I enjoy eatting them...they take care of the need I have at times to just have something in my mouth...like gum or candy or something..

What do they taste like? I've been looking for some in the store but can't seem to find any chewables. Right now I'm taking gummies but I want to convert to chewables. I feel like gummies have too much sugar. Idk. I'm just being paranoid.

Well, I ordered mine after trying a sample at my RD's office. The supplements I buy are the Bariatric Advantage chewable calcium citrate Vitamins with Vit D. I chew 6 chewables a day..which is like eating something to me rather than swallowing a log of a tablet. They come in chocolate(I like this), caramel (it tastes pretty good), lemon (my personal favorite..tastes like a tart starburst chew) and raspberry (these I wouldn't feed to the dog..they should go back to the drawing board on that one!). I order them from Bariatric Advantage's website. They come in 120, 90, & 60 counts. They will also send you samples as well. Best of all, the chews are sugar free!!! HOWEVER...their Protein shakes, in my humble opinion, are nasty, grotesque, and down right shameful ( yes ..that's how I really feel about them..lol) so if you decided to try their shakes...buy a bottle or two, not the bag to try them out first. Hope this helped! I guess it's just weirdo me tasting the "after taste". It's not bad enough yet to make me stop using them...

I use the big Bariatric Advantage sweet tart looking things, but they make me nausous for about 10 - 15 minutes. Nothing bad, just unpleasant. I think it is the rasberry flavor that one poster did not like either. I need to try some of the other flavors. I have been a bit lax in taking them on schedule, but so far my numbers are good. I do like the chewing better than another pill.

I tried the chewable sweet tart things too..and immediately threw up...I encourage you to try the calcium chews..they are like starburst or soft taffy squares, sugar free, & tasty. For me..I get a bitter after taste about 1 hour after eating them..I could be refluxing as well..but it doesn't feel like I am..oh well..I am weird I guess!

Oh ok, I was just wondering because I am taking actual pills and they are becoming too much of a hassle to force down so I am looking for something else!

I like the Chewy bites..I just have that after taste 1 hour to the minute give or take a few in which I get a bitter taste in my mouth..I don't think anyone else is having it, so maybe it's me..I like them regardless of the after taste way better than the big Calcium chewable tablets. I would encourage you to try them! Call them up and ask them to send you some samples.< /p>

I like the BA caramel chews. They are like candy. The cinnamon is good to but why not have a "candy" treat?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
