What form/brand of Calcium are you taking? I know we need to take calcium citrate, but I'm trying to figure out if there is something better for me. I'm currently taking Citrical petites but I need to take 2 pills 3 times a day - which is hard to do. I'm just not getting them in. I saw liquid calcium citrate online. Does anyone take that? How do you get all of you calcium in?

I'm taking Calcium Magnesium Citrate with VitaminD3 made by Solgar. I purchased it at the Vitamin Shoppe. I take 15ml liquid daily but I'm not sure if I should be taking more. I have my appt tomorrow I'm going to ask them. I'll be honest - I'm not loving having something else to drink. I think I'd rather chews.

Yes, I use liquid Calcium by Wellesse. It doesn't taste that bad either. Still doesn't help me get it in 3 times a day though. I pretty much only take it twice daily.

Great question! I take 3 different kinds, depending on what I am doing for the day. I use Wellesse liquid, UpCal D powder, and Calcet Creamy Bites. The wellesse liquid doesn't taste that bad, the powder I mix in with my protien shakes or sugar free pudding, and the Creamy Bites when I am on the go. Using a combination of the three, I never struggle to get my Calcium in.

Liquid Calcium Magnesium Citrate for me as well - surgeon's orders. I take LifeTime that I purchase from Amazon. Comes in several flavors - both the Natural Lemon Custard and strawberry are really quite tasty. I take it once a day in the evening and my blood work has been spot on for two years.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
