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!!

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

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
