Did she say why the Calcium in the milk doesn't count? Calcium is calcium regardless of the source.

What about calcium citrate chewables? Those are easy to take. I tolerate them well and there are all sorts out there in the market to choose from.

Yeah sounds puzzling to me. Studies show we actually absorb more Calcium from food sources than supplements anyhow.

Love fair life. Not loving the $5 a bottle price though. Thanks Coke a cola!

Love Fairlife! It's not just lactose free, but they also filter out much of the sugar as well, making it a relatively low carb milk. After surgery, fairlife was the ONLY thing I could tolerate without vomiting for nearly a month (without it, I would've been stuck in the hospital). I loved that I could use diet hot cocoa mix for mornings, and then mix sugar free strawberry Syrup with it when I wanted dessert. It's expensive, but I could always find them on sale for BOGO or 1-2 dollars off when I looked around. Walmart/Target and discount chains also carry them here in Florida, and Publix has promotions often.

      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?

      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.
