Calcium HELP- almost choked on it

[SerendipityHappens 1,594]

I am preop so I realize that post op, you might have a more difficult time with larger pills... but yes, I find citrical petites to be very easy to swallow. They are also coated so they don't really taste and they're not chalky. I actually take two citrical petites, 1 b-complex and 1 prenatal multivitimin all at once and nothing gets stuck. The multivitimin is about twice the size of the citrical.

I just hope and pray that I will be able to get back to swallowing vitimins quickly following surgery. I can't STAND chewables.< /p>

I can find Calcium carbonate chewables but not calcium citrate that my NUT recommended.

Bariatric Advantage has chewable calcium citrate in raspberry, caramel, chocolate and lemon and they're sugar-free to boot.

Thanks! I ended up buying Celebrate chews. It's good to have a backup in case I don't like the taste.

My NUT actually advised against the Caltrate petites, saying they would be like "stones" in my stomach and difficult to digest. Hmm!
