Calcium...is there any other way to get the required amount and avoid the horse pills?

[Rachele 0]

Okay, I am just over 2 weeks from my sleeve. I cannot tolerate the horse pills of Calcium that my Dr prescribed. He said gummies will be worse. Is there any other possible way to get the calcium? I am able to drink FF milk and as of yesterday I can have LF Cottage cheese and LF Cheese, so there is a little calcium, but as you all know the amount we can actually get down is minimal. I am open to ANY suggestions...thanks!

I found a bag of chewables that are like caramels at costco. They are really yummy, almost a treat!!

Beat me to it... but I second that. They are really good. They are available in chocolate as well.

Be sure to get calcium citrate as it is the best absorbed. Citracal has some petites that are 400mg, so I take two of those.

I'm using a liquid brand sold at Walmart. It's Wellesse brand and tastes sort of like a citrus/tropical drink flavor. Not bad at all. I will use it until I can resume the soft chews or the pills later.

I use Calcet Creamy Bites. They calcium citrate and really a nice treat - soft and like candy.< /p>

upcal D is a flavorless powder that delivers 500mg per packet. I add it to my Protein Shakes or Water and can't taste it. Make sure you are taking a Calcium citrate, those costco chews are not.
