I at first found some chewables and they upset my tummy. At 3 weeks I started swallowing my PPI just fine and so at week 4 I switched to citrical petites, they are citrate which is absorbed better by us because of the limited time spent in the tummy. The first month I took them I split the petite tablets in half and swallowed. Now I swallow them whole. I found mine at either cvs or Walgreens!

Ok, great!!! Thanks so much! Btw, idk if u have a Kroger in ur area but they have Calcium citrate (in the Kroger brand) for $9.69 and it's buy one get one free...get one free! I can't remember exactly how many are in the bottle, but I think it's a 150-200 count bottle! So, you get at least a 90-100 day supply for about $20 bucks depending on the tax in your state!!!!

      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.
