I don't take Calcium supplements. So much of what I eat I the average day is so Calcium rich already.

I mix one of my daily Protein drinks with almond milk. 8oz has 450mg calcium. I also use about 1/2oz of chia seeds a day, jthats another 375mg. 1scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is 130mg. Any of the cheeses are going to be calcium rich. Most ppl would be surprised how much calcium they get daily.

Well that shows me I (REALLY) need to read the label more closely. I'm almost sure I get as much if not more calcium than my doctor recommends.

Thank you O.T.R.

Just be careful. Consult with your doctor. It really makes a different in M/F and age. Women needs are more than men.

Actually it's the same for both sexes. 1000mg/day till age 50, then 1200mg/day after.

Thank you!!

Most people are under the impression that women need more because of the big osteoporosis campaign with Sally Field.

Probably that....and doctors. More women go to docs than men do. I've been dealing w arthritis since my 20's and was told that females lose bone mass faster than males. But, i'm sure my info is outdated. I thank you for updating me!

Don't you guys get constipated taking that much Calcium? Are you also taking Iron?

I think the Constipation comes from all the Protein and not the Calcium. I take Fiber gummies and Miralax to counter that. In fact, the citrate packaging says that you may have diarrhea if you consume more than the recommended dose. My multi has Iron in it so try and separate taking multi and citrate by a couple hours, if possible.

For me it's def the Calcium, always has been. My pill regime is take something every time I eat, preferably 6 times a day.

What brand fiber gummies do you take? I also take miralax but its not always practical.

Thanks!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
