Bariatric Advantage Calcium



Recommended Posts

So I recently ordered the Bariatric Advantage chewy bites 500mg in caramel, and I have to say -- they taste great! But they are incredibly sweet, and I'm little worried about how I'm going to tolerate eating 3 of these a day. I've heard great things about the lemon ones, however.

For those of you who've tried both -- what do you think of them?? I know the lemon chews only have 250 mg of Calcium, but they're significantly cheaper. Are they better/less sweet so that I could tolerate taking twice as many or would you recommend chowing down the least number of chews I can??? lol

Being able to get back on pills will be a wonderful step in this journey!!

So far I like the raspberry, lemon, chocolate and caramel. I recommend that you get samples of all of them. You are going to be taking a lot of Calcium supplements every day so you will have an opportunity to try different flavors and mix them up.

You don't have to have the same flavor three times a day.

I really liked the lemon. I hate they are only 250mg.

Does it bother you to have to eat twice as many?

I've only tried it once. I haven't bought any yet. I probably won't buy them because they are 250mg

I really like the chocolate ones. I just got strawberry and coconut last week and they are pretty good. The caramel is my least favorite because it is too sweet.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
