I was told by my dr to try the Caltrete gummies for my Calcium--I noticed that the are covered in sugar--for 2 tablets its 7g.

I've only taken them a little over a day, but notice soon after I do I get weak, little woozy, and slight headache. Is this from the small amt of sugar?

We were told no gummies as they would not dissolve quick enough and could get stuck. As for the sugar content it is to much at once and you are having symptoms of dumping syndrome. Only 5 grams at the most per serving of sugar was h guideline I was given. There are many choices for bariatric. Bariatric Advantage Vitamins. They taste pretty good lots of flavors to choose from and no dumping. Good luck to you!

I think the gummies have half as much Calcium as the chewables if I remember correctly. That's how it is with the Bariatric Advantage brand anyhow. Only 250g in the gummies and the chewables are 500g. I think the chewables are tearing up my stomach though. (I"m pre-op)

      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.
