sne1709 25 Posted March 6, 2013 So I got the form but it talks about ill or needy? And then it talks about the IRS. I am totally confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nienie 113 Posted March 6, 2013 I'm going to print this and bring it to my pre-op appointment next week. I've already ordered from Bariatric Advantage and found the Wild Cherry Calcium Citrate chewables w/ Vit D are terrible. Unfortunately, I bought a 90 day supply...I'm just waiting until they are gone. The other things I ordered from there aren't so bad. Thanks for the info! I didn't like these initially either. What I did was cut them into four. So I didn't have to try and chew that big Vitamin. Worked much better... My surgeon stated I could buy all my Vitamins at Walmart but strongly suggested Bariatric Advantage for Calcium. I have also noted a lot of people referring to taking gummy vitamins and according to my surgeon these are a no no... 1 mrsb12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I can't stand the flavor and consistency. I take Flinstones chewables. Also the calcium pill are extremely large and it's painful to swallow can we cut those too?

Also the Calcium pill are extremely large and it's painful to swallow can we cut those too? The calcium I cut up and chewed and drank Water with. I initially hated them but made them habit. I don't know if any of them are that great. Just an idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marla 35 Posted March 6, 2013 I just got the cinnamon flavored calcium citrate, they are not bad,if you like cinnamon......from Bariatric Advantage.... 1 nienie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nienie 113 Posted March 6, 2013 I forgot about the calcium chews. We tasted all of them at our seminar and they were good. Only downfall is instead of taking Calcium two times a day you would have to take three times a day and trying to spread them out between multi Vitamin might get tough-but would be good calcium to take..

Marla 35 Posted March 6, 2013 I think you are supposed to take both the chewy and the chewable 3 x a day.....I do not always get all my bits in though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsb12 73 Posted March 6, 2013 I think you are supposed to take both the chewy and the chewable 3 x a day.....I do not always get all my bits in though. Our doctor recommends 6x a day for chewy , wow big difference in amounts in food and Vitamins, it's amazing each doctor and nutritionist require different things , I wish it was 3 ,too many pills not enough real food ,I'm 43 days post op and still on liquids :'( living4myself_gb1-21-13: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
