Having a hard time getting my Calcium in. I bought the strawberry chews which I liked before surgery but now not so much. What are others taking?

I am taking the Bariatric Advantage chews. They are about the only ones I tolerate. They are like a starburst but not quite as tasty. I have tried strawberry, orange, Peanut Butter chocolate.

Orange is my favorite followed by strawberry. Damn things are expensive.

i am having trouble taking in all of the required everything. i just ordered the Multivitamin Patches and the calcium/D3 patches. Hopefully they serve their purpose. From what I hear, they're great. Maybe that is a road you could consider.

Celebrate calcium citrate. Tart cherry. Chalky but I can choke them down. Definitely gonna ask my nutritionist if they will let me use Patches.

I use the BariMelts calcium citrate. They melt in your mouth and they taste good (I think). I was afraid to use the chews yet as I'm only on soft foods and they just seem like it'd be heavy to digest. Also I know every doctor is different, my office said the Patches don't absorb as well so we aren't allowed those.

I use the lemon chews. You have to take two instead of one but since they taste just like lemon drops that's not a problem.

      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.
