I am new to this been working at getting all of my pre-op appts done. I saw the nutritionist and she recommended me taking calcium citrate chewable vitamins not gummies or tablets. I am having trouble trying to find Calcium citrate all I am finding is calcium carbonate.... Please help thanks.

@@katielynne83 These are wafer, if you can't have wafers, tablets, or gummies, then I don't know what the heck you would have left to choose from that's chewable?

I get my calcium citrate chewables from Vitamin Shoppe. The brand says Bariatric Support by Twin Labs. Btw, it took me forever to locate Calcium citrate...99% of the ones I found in other stores were not calcium citrate.

What is the difference between carbonate and citrate?

Citrite absorbs better in bariatric surgery patients than carbonate.
