Calcium Citrate...



Recommended Posts

I take the vita fusion ight loss gummies. They are 5 calories each and are tasty. I usually order the 90 count on Amazon, but there is also the 220 count.

Something to check - I looked at a few chewable calcium citrate options and they don't list calories (could mean the calories are so high, they don't want to list it???). Then I found some that do list calories and they were all 35 calories per 500 mg/tablet. If I take 3/day that's 105 calories! I decided to take OTR Sleever's advice and tracked my Calcium intake from the foods I'm eating and found that I get about 700 or more mg of calcium/day from food. Yogurt and the Protein Drinks I use (CytoSport RTD whey Isolate) are both high in calcium. So I'm only going to take 1 calcium supplement/day as long as I'm getting the calcium from natural (and better) sources.

Do we always have to take the chewable? Or is there a point we can take the Calcium in a pill form?

The BA calcium citrate chews are 20 cal each. That's 120 calories. While it makes you wonder if it is too much, I'll take them anyways because they are yummy. It does not appear to have an impact on weight loss for me. They come in caramel, strawberry and chocolate.< /p>

      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.
