CountryGirlNY 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Hi Friends - Im just past 2 weeks post-op and know how important the Vitamins are. However, I CANT stomach the chewable Calcium pills that I got from the dr. office. Im looking for a liquid Calcium brand that is comparable to the nasty chalky stuff I have. If anyone has any suggestion of a brand of liquid calcium that they are using and can tolerate I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted February 7, 2009 Have you tried the Citrical Petites? You take 2 three times a day which is a pain, but they are small (like m and m sized) and will "go down" for most everyone. I got them at drugstore.com but they are probably available at local drugstores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CountryGirlNY 0 Posted February 7, 2009 HI! I havent tried anything except for the HUGE chalky stuff I got at the office. I just ordered something online called Tropical Oasis liquid Calcium. It had some pretty good reviews, so I thought that at $12/bottle, it was worth a try! I'll report back after it arrives and let ya know how it is.... Hope you're well - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted February 7, 2009 I finally have some restriction and am enjoying actually NEEDING all the rules I've been trying to follow...like chew well, no liquids with meals, etc :cursing: Very happy! I fortunately don't have trouble taking pills, though, so no liquid drugs for me! (especially since I can't drink beer now! LOL) How are you? Doing great, it sounds like!

molinomama 0 Posted February 8, 2009 I also use the Citracal calcium citrate "Petites" and they work great. I get them at Walgreens. I take them one at a time and have had no problems. Sometimes it takes trial and error to find what works best for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValJean 6 Posted February 8, 2009 I also HATE the chewable Calcium tablets! Of course, I stocked up on them before surgery, so I have a HUGE bottle. I started crushing them up to powder, and then swallowing it with a small sip of water--that seems to work for me, and keeps it from coating my mouth and sticking in my teeth. Can't wait until I can just swallow a regular-sized pill again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
