WHY do we need 'calcium Citrate"?

Found this online, it explains it better than I could:

"The main form of Calcium supplements are calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. Both are well-absorbed by gastric bypass patients, although those with decreased stomach acid will absorb calcium citrate more comfortably. Calcium combined with citrate is the top quality compound for maximum absorption of calcium."

I am having a hard time finding anything locally. I did find gummies, but was told not to get Gummy ones at all. I wonder if the chewy bites are ok as they aren't gummy but not chewable tablets either.

I am having a terrible time getting my Calcium in. I have some of the powder form that a friend gave me. But I keep forgetting to take it!

Another example of how much our taste differ. I like the peanut butter flavor but have since changed to caramel. Yum, yum

Our taste does change immensely after surgery and it differs individually. I cannot tolerate the chocolate calcium chews and I would forget powders as well so I purchased Caltrate minis. Easy to swallow and smaller pill I can take with other Vitamins.

      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'. ???

        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!
