I use a product called UPCalD. Its a powdered Calcium supplement that has no taste and mixes into anything. I mix it into my Protein Shakes or greek yogurt. I take 2 500mg packets a day and get another 500-800mg from regular food.< /p>

Hi again! I have some wisdom to impart with you that will help you with your dilemma. I stopped the Protein Shakes in my 3rd week because it smelled so discusting. Weeks later I knew I had to go back on them so I experimented and found a new way of drinking them that tastes delicious. I have chocolate powder, but this will work for vanilla and strawberry too I imagine. I put 1 scoop of powder, 8 oz. Water 2 big strawberries, my probiotic, and 1 tea. of organic cocoa and blend that up. You get your Protein, your fruit, and cocoa staves off hunger for sugar, You can even throw in other stuff you can't stand taking, like Vitamins, for it will hide the flavor and help the gag reflexes. I take it every morning and no gagging, it's really good. You can get your doctor to right a perscription for Calcium, or buy them yourself. I take them every 3-4 days. You don't need to take them everyday. Hope you find this useful.

What brands do you use for everything?

I used the Bariatric powder we were forced to buy from my doctors link. I'm sure you can get a very good powder from the GNC store. I drank their Liquid Protein for over a month. It had a high Protein content and only 4 sugars, and tasted very good, but I now am back on the powder rec. by my doctor. Ask the clerk for a high protein value in your powder. 60-80% of your daily intake should be of protein or you will start losing your hair. You can put your chewable Calcium in the blender too.

There are also flavorless Protein powders you can put in food or Soups if you want. That might help.

Google Healthwise. They have some that are more like crystal light and the flavors are actually good.

Oscal with D is adequate for Calcium and it comes in tablets. I haven't had any problem taking pills so you might be better off with a pill form instead of chewables. I bought a calcium powder when I had my lap band from Bariatric Advantage. It is flavorless and you just mix it into anything (food or liquid). I have had a lot of mixed reviews on the unflavored Protein because it still has the Vitamin type flavor and smell. Unjury website you can order sample packs to try it before spending a small fortune on a big bottle. There is also protein Soup and pudding on their website. I had to make a rule for myself that I don't allow myself anything else until I have had a Protein Shake (because I was getting to the point of putting it off all day). Also look at a website called the world according to egg face. There is a ton of ideas for protein.
