I have to take calcium citrate. I bought the petites and there is nothing petite about them. I have to take 4 a day per bottle recommendation and since I have to cut them in half bc they are huge it's like taking 8! I then bought the gummies but they are gross and full of sugar, 7grams for 2 gummies which is the recommended amount per the bottle. Anyone else have any suggestions? Went to GNC and Vitamin shop and it seems like this is all that's available. I also can't do anything like caramel or chocolate bc I'm just not a fan at all. Help!!!!

I agree on the Bariatric Advantage. In addition to lemon, they have raspberry that's pretty good. I take 4 a day. It really helps me with my snacking, because I take 2 about mid morning and 2 mid afternoon, when the munchies hit! They usually fill me up so I don't have room for snack food.< /p>

Try bjs bariatrics. I bought the calcium citrate by Calcet in lemon flavor. I don't like lemon but my Protein is chocolate so i didn't want everything to be chocolate. These are surprisingly delicious with great flavor and no horrible after taste. The link is below for you hope it works. If you spend $50 or more use promo code 435 that will give you $5 off your order.

The petites are only "petite" compared to the regular size.. How big are the regular ones?????OMG can you say HORSE PILL? I find the petites go down much better if I just swallow them whole rather than make them all jagged by cutting them.. They are also fine to crush so you can crush them into a powder and add to a drink... just crush them really well into a powder using a spice grinder and you can just add to a drink.. they have no real flavor.

Alternately there are some powdered Calcium supplements out there provided by some of the bariatric Vitamin companies that you can try. Bariatric Advantage also has the wafers you can get and they come in flavors like orange, berry or cinnamon. The chews taste yummy but they're expensive and might be adding more calories than you might like

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
