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 But, i'm sure my info is outdated.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!

      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.
