So, I use a pill case because i hate carrying so many bottles with me, but I can't find one that fits the calcium citrate. Has anyone found any? Recommendations? I would think there would have to be one out there somewhere.

I have a large one I picked up at the pharmacy in my grocery store. I take quite a number of supplements and the only way I can is to fill it up on the weekend and have my things with me as I go.

it's kind of similar to this one http://www.forgettingthepill.com/products/child-proof-weekly-pill-organizers-item-67804-large

It can be hard with the calciums because there are so many of them. It can be easy to lose count during the day. So I have a small finger bowl that I fill in the morning and periodically I take these throughout the day until the bowl is empty. If I am on the go, I take a zip-lock bag and fill these before I leave for the day.

I have found a set of mini tupperware type bowls, they are like 1&1/2 inches round with lids that go on them and I fill up one for each day once a week, then every morning I just grab one that's full and that way I keep up with all the Vitamins for each day. They are just big enough to fit the calcium chews and the other vitamins. I found mine at the dollar tree.

Rubbermaid makes little containers for small quantities like salad dressings.< /p>

Also an empty prescription bottle or empty aspirin type container could work.

They carry the huge ones at most dollar stores. The big ones for little old eyes.

I ordered mine from Amazon. It's the MedCenter 31-day pill organizer. It sits on the countertop and has individual cases for each day and has slots for 4 times of the day. I use the Citrical petites (3 twice a day) and they fit fine. I like this pill case because I can grab and go because of the way it's separated... same for traveling.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
