Chewable calcium citrate



Recommended Posts

Have you tried the Bariatric Advantage sugar free chewy bites? They are nothing like the big chewable chalk tablets the other brands have.

I think I get to graduate to them at my 6 week check up. I am only 3 weeks post op right now and my dr wants me to use the chewable. I can tolerate the chewable muti Vitamin with no problem but the calcium citrate is nasty. Can't wait till I can do the lozenges.

Oh hell yes! I got a bottle of the chocolate flavored Calcium chewable tablets. I think they are Bariatric Advantage. Disgusting!

And they have fake sugar in them. That stuff gives me Migraines. I did like the lemon calcium chew, but it's only like 150mg of calcium so I would have to eat 10 of them. I was never big on candy, and now I can't imagine how long it would take me to eat 10 of them, on top of all the other Vitamins and Protein shakes and meals. Insane.

I don't even know what to think about chocolate flavored. I have wild cherry and when I bite into it the taste goes up my nose and I just want to spit it out. I did try the lozenges that were a sample pack from my NUT (before I knew I was supposed to use them) and I can eat those all day long!

I use the caramel flavored ones from Bariatric Advantage - found at http://www.bariatricchoice.com/bariatric-advantage-calcium-citrate-chewy-bites-caramel.html

And they taste like candy. I usual end a small meal with one & it feels like I a

eating dessert! I highly recommend them!

That's funny! I have been thinking the same thing. I got the cinnamon chalky chewables from Bariatric Advantage, and as soon as they are finished I am definitely getting something else. The flavor DOES go right up your nose! I have to bite mine in half, chew it a little, then chase it with Water and repeat. At least we are getting our Vitamins, though!!

      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.
