2 weeks post-op and I am SICK of calcium gummies!



Recommended Posts

Is there anything else out there that will allow me to get what I need daily? I've been so good on everything else but having to eat 6 gummies a day is almost making me sick. They are too sweet and I find myself skipping them. That's not good, I know.

I am with you. I have to take 2 GIGANTIC chewable Multivitamins a day and cannot wait until I can just swallow it down. I don't use Calcium gummies, but got caramel flavored calcium chews from the surgeon's office. They are by Bariatric Advantage.

I was allowed to swallow whole pills at 7 days post-op, so maybe ask your surgeon about that? I take a generic version of Citrical Maximum. It's two large pills twice daily.

You have got to try this multi-Vitamin chewable. Only 1 needed a day and they are tiny! They actually go down so easy...

I already asked. They said I am not allowed whole pills until 3 months postop. :(

You asked on the mulit-Vitamin Vitamin I suggested? It's a chewable just like what you're taking now, just smaller and you only have to take 1 a day.

I buy the Well brand of Calcium + D at Walgreens. They have chewy caramel or chocolate, which come 60 in reclosable foil bag. I only need one per day.< /p>

I don't swallow any Vitamins at all, I bought a bunch of vitamin patches from my Drs office. You just stick it on for 24 hrs then remove it and it last for 3-5 days (depending on the vitamin) the Omega and Calcium +D3 is every 4 days and the B12 power patch and B12 high dose+12 essential vitamins is every 5days. Its wonderful and I love it. I still have to take my Ultima Electrolyte drink for my minerals but the Patches are great.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
