I think I have to buy them from the dr office for their prices.... At least pre-op :P not that I am wanting to go against dr orders but I'll shop where I want after the fact. This is all just a game until insurance accepts and the deed is done.

I buy the BA chews off Amazon too, but they are actually 5 dollars cheaper from the WLS Center I belong to and no shipping costs.

The problem is that the WLS Center is not open on the weekend when the support group meets and it is an hour for me to drive there otherwise. I suppose the cost of gas would balance everything out so will just keep ordering on Amazon.

I second the BA chews, especially caramel. They are yummy little treats 3 x a day (6 total). At 6 month, my Calcium levels were dead on mid range. I have 9 month checkup next week and will see if I need to keep taking. I am a total addict to them now though and am not sure I could give them up. Lol.

/They are the best!! I only do 2 a day but they are like my candy. Its a treat to have them!

I use Zija Moringa Supermix instead of taking vitamins' date=' Calcium, and B12. It's all natural and as far as calcium goes it's has 4 times (gram for gram) the amount of calcium that's in milk. It's also has many other benefits, like I stopped losing my hair just 2 wks after starting it and I'm only on 1 out of 15 medications (most were for anti-flammatory reasons, ie, asthma, fibromyalgia, planar fasiitis, and more) since starting it. It's awesome. I highly recommend it.

Hi, do you have to buy these online or are they in stores? Does it come in liquid form?

Thanks

There are several options, but purchasing it through the distributor is the cheapest because you can get it at wholesale cost that way. :)

Sure - why not? We took them as soon as we could following surgery.

I ordered Bariatric Advantage chewable. I thought I was getting the chewy ones, caramel is really good, but what I got was chocolate flavored chewables, which taste chalky.

I also take the Twin Labs Bariatric calcium citrate. They are chewable wafers that I break in half and take twice a day since our bodies can only absorb so much Calcium at a time.

I just bought the Bariatric Advantage Cherry calcium citrate tablets. They are super sweet for my taste. Can anyone recommend another flavor by BA that they like?

Definately look into BA Caramel calcium citrate. It is the best!! Disclaimer : my own opinion of course. I just loaded up on 4 bags a couple days ago because it was only 11 at my WLS Center where it is 17 for me to order online through my Amazon distributor (plus shipping).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
